Quoted:
Does anyone know how much heavier the 16" SOCOM barrel is than the 16" 6920 barrel ? Quoted:
4oz, if I'm not mistaken. I don't have a scale that precise, but I don't feel a difference. The SOCOM 14.5 barrel weight 4oz more than the 14.5 gov profile. How much does the extra inch and a half of a 16 inch barrel weigh? |

How much does the extra inch and a half of a 16 inch barrel weigh? The barrel is only thicker under the handgaurds. So, presumably, it's still 4oz. Socom - M4 = 4oz, (Socom+1.5") - (M4+1.5") = 4oz |

Quoted:
I know the SOCOM profile was developed to help the barrel perform better under F/A conditions. Has anyone determined if the accuracy of the 16" SOCOM barrel is better than the 6920 barrel ? Member Molon had tested the 14.5" SOCOM profile barrel in the past, they're better than the government profile 6920 barrels but only slightly worst than the 6721 HBAR heavy barrel.

I can't tell the difference between it, and my LE6920, but I haven't packed it around for hours either... They are basically identical now. I threw a Surefire 961 on the SOCOM, and the LE has a 951. I plan to swap my ACOG to the SOCOM, but maybe put an Aimpoint on the LE. Hopefully I'll be able to get out, and put a few rounds through it soon.
