Where are the 14.5" M4 barrels with FSBs these days?

Yeah those are the whole upper receiver groups, I'm just after the barrel itself with an FSB on it. BCM is generally my first stop for anything AR, and then if it's something I need but they don't offer (Mostly Retro stuff like A1 uppers, non-F FSBs etc..) then I hit up other outfits.

If you cant find what youre looking for, im sure you could offload the bcm upper on the EE here for a fair price.

Out of curiosity, in terms of weight, how much heavier is a SOCOM M4 profile barrel compared to the standard one?

And in actual use, how much heavier does it feel?

Here's a five page thread about that:

And in actual use, how much heavier does it feel?

I did a compare/contrast between two barrel profiles (albeit one was a pencil barrel):

It does make a subjective difference.

You might want to try Windham Weaponry. Their barrels have a decent reputation. I think they are sourced from Green Mountain barrels. I built a 20" A4 type rifle with one, but I haven't fired it as of yet.

A Colt 14.5" SOCOM barrel is less than 2 ozs heavier than a Colt 16" M4 profile barrel. I like the balance of the Colt 14.5" SOCOM barrel and it shoots like a house afire.

If you want that SOCOM barrel at G&R, grab it quick. You won't find it cheaper, they sell out fast and it often takes awhile to come back in stock.

Arms Unlimited has the Colt 14.5” socom Profile for $240 shipped.

Probably cheaper than Grant’s offering with his M4C discount + shipping charge factored in.

I was mostly just curious how the SOCOM compared to a standard M4 barrel overall, but for my needs I still think I'm going to go with the standard profile for now. I've got a line on one at the moment.

I had forgotten about Windham too, those might come in handy for a *different* project requiring an M4 barrel down the road. They're not my first choice but most of the specs on their barrels look solid, they just don't appear to individually HP/MP test them.
They apparently use non-F FSBs but since that barrel would be going on a future 727 clone that would actually be a plus in that case.
