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. |

Boy did I luck out, I picked up a NIW COLT SOCOM 14.5 barrel a few months ago for $250. If id of known that they were worth at least $380, I would of bought a dozen.

What are you trying to do- M4 looks with more meat under the handguards? If you don't need the M203 slots, or would a Hbar profile with the M4 stepcut up front work?

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> |

How much did the Bushmaster barrel run you? What exactly did you decide on (barrel and profile I mean)?
Again, good luck on the endeavor!
