Who has the best deals on 14.5"? I've been wanting to do this for my 6920... is it the socom barrel?

PM Grant at G&R tactical. I just bought a Colt 14.5 SOCOM and as of a week ago he still had them in stock. If you pm him he offers a discount to fellow M4C members. A great guy to deal with. I put the SOCOM barrel on a LE6920M and am very happy with it, it also has the A2 carry handle and will stay that way.

Bought my M4 standard barrel off the EE at arfcom.

Arms Unlimited has the SOCOM version for $240.

I would leave it stock for a while and shoot it. Then after you get done, add a BUIS, RDS and shoot it some more.

Keep it stock as is and its a great baseline to compare all your other AR rifles and upgrades to as well as the perfect trainer for new AR shooters.

I have more AR's than I want to disclose on an open forum, to include one that is used for work as an inter-city LEO. The majority of my AR's have at minimum, an optic and a white light.

I have a Colt 6920 that has the stock furniture and a MagPUl MBUS. Nothing else. It's actually fun to pull it out every so often and shoot it. No, it's not, "State of the Art" with a FF hand guard, after market trigger, Surefire light or a 1-6 optic. But I pulled the factory trigger, cleaned off all of the gunk, lubed it and reinstalled it. The trigger's not bad after a some rounds through it.

It's just a fun gun to shoot. Great trainer. And I forgot how light and well balanced a basic 6920 can feel compared to some of my other guns.

Whether to leave it alone or make any modifications to it will be a personal decision. It all depends on the purpose behind having it. I bought my first LE6920 back in 2008 and started making a few changes to it.





What one does is up to them, but whatever is done should have purpose.

I would not- in fact, did not- hesitate to put a Colt 14.5" SOCOM (or Colt M4 14.5" barrel) on a 6920. The swap is straight plug and play. The gas port is the right size and works perfectly with the H buffer and Colt carbine spring. The difference in handling is subtle but it is better and I've seen no difference in performance out to 400 yards. The SOCOM 14.5" barrel is only 2 oz heavier and with more mass at the chamber end, it handles heat better
