My guess is Remington had a bunch of extra 14.5's but they hadn't been finished, then got an order for the 11.5's, so they cut them to make them work and then finished them. Anyone's guess.

Please stop with the cut down posts, we just cleared this up on the last page. The gas port size and chrome lining at the muzzle indicate they were manufactured as 11.5's. If They were production change barrels from anything they were most likely manufactured as the quickly sold out non FSB 11.5 barrels and then profiled down and fitted for a FSB. The milspec FSB extends further forward than almost all current low profile gas locks, so the remaining barrel markings being found under the front leg of the milspec FSB would be consistent with the markings being visable with a standard low profile gas block. If someone purchased both we could probably figure that out. This is the non fsp

Okay! I relent. I ordered the 11.5, too, along with a couple delta ring assemblies.

I ordered another 14.5" Socom and went ahead and ordered two of the Bushmaster 1:7 16" M4 barrels with chrome-lining for $99. Also a good deal.
You can put together some cheap uppers with these bad boys. |

All of the Mueller ones I have had were good uppers. So I’m hoping for the best, but honestly for $48 complete uppers I’m likely to be happy. Anderson uppers are like $35 stripped...

Can't wait for old age.... Okay, I had a look at the upper. There are no markings over the gas tube hole. The only other marks on it are on the back of the rear lug, an M with a line over it, bracketed by dots. |

The forging has almost nothing to do with whether your upper is going to be in spec anyways.

Finally got my upper assembled with 14.5" Rem barrel. I've got an LMT BCG and BCM charging handle waiting for it to have the pin welded in to the FH by my buddy. My second 14.5" arrived Saturday and I have a FDE receiver set that I was thinking of using for that one. Something about an all FDE M4A1 is appealing to me, then I'd have Black & Tan.

Finally got out to shoot the 14.5 and 11.5 barrels.
11.5 (Non FSP) - Definitely over gassed. 11.5 (FSP) - Shot well, gas was fine. May need a little bit of tuning. 14.5 (FSP) - Was pleasantly surprised with this. Accurate, took minimal adjustment to zero. Gas was fine with the A5H2. Pretty much shot just like my Colt socom barrels. |

I’ve received my 11.5” barrel with the marks on the portion of the barrel that’ll be under the handguards. It’s really nice. Haven’t had a chance to take decent pics, but I’ll get some as well as measurements of the gas port. F marked B 2 front sight post. I’m working on another M4 clone and then will he building something around the 11.5 barrel. |

Barrel and uppers arrived. I’m very happy with the uppers and the barrel so far. I’m ordering a RISII for this so hopefully it’ll be legit.
