Is this your attempt at sarcasm/humor?A BCM upper and AERO lower when we’re talking about a true COLT M4A1 CLONE? Maybe go back and read the OP’s original post.
A little education for you, a Colt pinned FH is not a BCM A2X FH. So, obviously, as such, they would be different, yes? The pinned Colt FH is a different style and about 1/4 inch longer than a BCM A2X. Makes not one bit of difference from a practical standpoint. I do have to admit, it’s not as aesthetically pleasing however.
Still can’t get over the AERO M4A1 lower suggestion... Because there are so many of those in the wild... who wouldn’t want one as a COLT clone? Who? Had to have been sarcasm... had to.

I understand that line of thought, but I really wanted a genuine Colt that was, to the greatest possible extent, a copy of the Colt still being used by various military units. And as someone else said, Colt is Colt...they work and as I research and read more deeplyinto the history of the AR, I found it appealling to have a Colt that is, as I understand it (maybe I am wrong) still the only AR made based on the actual TDP, so for all these reasons I know I am spending more than I need to to get a M4 Carbine, but I am enjoying it and looking forward to it.

OP, I would look into these as well. I've ordered from AU several times as they have great prices on genuine Colt parts.

Question: What is the current optic most often used by SOCOM with the M4A1?
Also... What about the spring and buffer combo Geissele sells. Engineered specifically for the Carbine length gas ststem?

I've been deployed to Afghanistan/Iraq every couple months for the last 5 years. The most common that I've seen in the following order are TA31 ACOG, Aimpoint CompM4//M4s/M2, and Elcan 1-4 for the M4A1s without RIS II rails.
As for the buffer system, I have not had a chance to try the super 42 but the H2 that comes with the rifle is just about perfect IMO. That is also how the issued M4A1s are configured.

This rifle was issued to one of the Marines I was working with.

Thanks for the input on both points. I have been considering an ACOG
I have a 2018 SOCOM and have the new model on layaway at the LGS. After a quick inspection, the only difference I could find between the two is the size and method of the markings. The markings on the 2019 model are smaller and either laser or pantograph engraved. The markings on the older model are stamped.
