Does anyone make or sell just the barrel?

Yep, just about anywhere that sells parts sell barrels.

Sorry but that was a dumbfuck answer dude.



This is an ultra heavy 20" barrel with a 1" diameter , 1:7 twist, special gas tube, and a carry handle/bipod mount connected to the barrel.  Only Colt and Colt Canada make this part and even then it is rare.

No reason to call me a dumbfuck.

I didn't read the title real well, nor did I know there was a specific model called a "colt automatic rifle" anyway. I thought you were asking about Ar barrels in general. Lots of new people come asking questions that are that broad and general all the time.

Exactly how in the heck was he supposed to KNOW you where looking for a "specific" barrel w/ specific features?

Your original post says not one word about a bull barrel which is NOT standard on a Colt Automatic Rifle listed in your title.

FWIW any number of folks make the barrel your are seeking, I can name several.

Mike

ps - oh, I didn't name them for ya........

guess you can just "go-fish"


ETA - as most assume (I know I did) Colt Automatic Rifle is generally construed to be any M16 made by Colt, obviously that ain't so anymore, this is what he is referring to, (although why he couldn't include the link in his post is anyone's guess): www.colt.com/mil/CAR.asp

And yes there are several places to get such a barrel.

Yes it IS a heavy barrel - It's called the LSW because the thing is LIGHTER than say an M60, M240, or the M249.

It is not called a "Colt Automatic Rifle".  The weapon you are refering to is known as a "Colt Open Bolt Light Machine Gun" or LMG for short.  To find an answer you must first know the right question.  To answer the question you don't seem to be able to ask is the barrels are basically impossible to find.  The uppers can be had for $1500.  You will not find the parts seprately.

To be fair.

It is indeed called the Colt Automatic Rifle by none other than Colt themselves : Colt Automatic Rifle

They probably used that name to envoke images of the Browning Automatic Rifle as the proposed role of the Colt is the same.

A birdie told me these guys would probably sell them

Colt lists the rifle as a Colt Automatic Rifle while Colt Canada calls it a Light Support Weapon, but yes the rifle is a open bolt light machine gun that mostly the Canadian Army bought.

I believe the military designation is "LMG".  I own several field and technical manuals for this weapon and I believe they refer to it as "open bolt LMG" SAW has the uppers for $2500!!  HOT DAWG!! I got mine for $500.P.S.  I asked before but no one seemed to know.  Does the bolt carrier on one of these puppies have serrations????

Ok, not the best way to respond but the first reply was a flipant response to what he thought was a dumbass question. If you don't know the answer, don't try to answer.  You'll just sound dumb. If you don't understand the question, ask clarifying questions. Some of us knew what he meant.
The complete uppers were available several years ago (for around $650 IIRC) but apparently are 2x that now (or more). Good luck with just a barrel.

Glad to see I am not alone, smartass answers get smartass remarks.  Yeah i would like to build one but figured if I could get my hands on the barrel i could cut down on the inflated cost of the few uppers that are floating around right now.  I see no reason to buy a 1500 dollar upper when I could spend less get a POF piston upper.

It was not a smartass answer. You have a join date of December 2005, you said Colt Automatic Rifle, which I have seen used to describe an Ar-15. As I said previously new folks ask very general and broad questions ALL THE TIME. You asked does anyone just sell the barrel and I replied yes anywhere that sells parts sells barrels. Nothing smartass about it. I wasn't aware there was a specific model of machine gun called a Colt Automatic Rifle.

Gunnut amazing how you automatically assume I was being a smartass with my answer. It wasn't a dumb question. Even had he meant Ar's I wouldn't haven't thought it to be a dumb question. The only dumb question is the question not asked. No apology neccesary, I'm a big boy and not get my panties in a bunch over it. No big deal.
