It's just that light weight retardation leads to Carbon 15 AR and .380 pistol customers. :jester:

Bah, I'd bet you're the worst of the bunch. Betcha got a 14.5" midlength floating around somewhere...

Yeah... but it's chambered in .380. The lo pro gas block is just for the "Middy" look. :cool:

See here.

I want to get a 921HB barrel. I had a 16" BCM SOCOM upper but I want to go with a 14.5 now. The only place I can find one in stock is OOW for $386.60 for just the barrel alone!

Great stuff,I just got my slim profile 14.5" pinned and was
thinking I should have got a Socom or a HVY but after
reading this I think I will keep my lighter weight,I do like
it's handiness. Personally not interested in tiny groups off
a bench with hand loads,prefer offhand at 200 yds on steel
with three types of ball stuffed in the mag! If I can hit this
way I'm gtg. Pete
