Thanks for the extra pictures. I started to ask in my first post if it was a mock dissipator or not, but figured Colt wouldn't do as such considering the old 605. ETA: That's a strange barrel profile. It looks to be .625 under the sight base, but HBAR-ish underneath the handguards. |

ETA: That's a strange barrel profile. It looks to be .625 under the sight base, but HBAR-ish underneath the handguards. IIRC, it's a stock 6721 barrel with the FSB/GB shaved, and then re-profiled for the front sight installation. Decidedly not a lightweight barrel.
I forget who off the top of my head, but last year or so a couple companies were "blowing them out" at around $700-$800-ish as trade-ins, some of which had cheap, commercial collapsible stocks installed, so they've become a relatively more common sight to see. ~Augee |

If the barrel is what Augee said (6721) ... it would be a 1/9 twist and I had one of those HBAR barrels. I used to consistently get sub-MOA group from that barrel with Sierra 77 grainers. I sold the barrel after the group started to open up a little bit at about 3.5k rounds. |

I wonder if the M4 lower forgings were available back in 2002..
btw, here's an older thread about those dissipators https://www.ar15.com/archive/topic.html?b=2&f=29&t=235830 |
