Ordered a new Bushmaster barrel. 
|
Considering S.A.W. sells regular Colt 14.5" barrels for $500, these heavy SOCOM barrels are a steal at $380. Last year they were going for around $800. I was thinking that someone mentioned a heavy-style 14.5" barrel by a different manufacturer, but I don't rember if it was an M4 profile, nor do I remember who makes them. |
I'd make my own from an HBAR, but the only 1/7 HBAR I can think of is the special run Bushy awhile back - but you wouldn't have the bayo lug, so a FSB swap would be in order if the lack of bayo lug was a breaker. Hell, I'd even put the M203 slots in it just for shits and giggles. By the time you pay for all that work, you'd be damn near the Colt price, though. |
I like the bottom one, that is what I would wanna get. If bushmaster says they will take too long, I may still try and hunt down a different one, Im jus not goin to spend 380 on a COlt barrel. as good as they MAY seem, that is too much IMO> |
I got the M4 profile 14.5" Barrel assembly only was like 208 to my door. I still dont know if they are in stock though. |
