Legit?

I remember reading some years back where Remington got a limited contract for M4A1's but Colt whined and I don't recall what became of that contract. Could these be contract overruns? Looks like Remington Defense has it listed, but for foreign military contracts?

Gonna find a complete Colt SOCOM barrel for $180? Not being critical at all but if it is what the ad says it isn't a bad deal.....and that was kind of where I was going with it: legit?
ETA: this would be for a spare barrel to throw into the safe for a rainy day. It won't be for a build I have planned or anything (but then again you know how that usually works out!).

I didn't say that but was just pointing out its most likely a DPMS produced component since they're under the same umbrella as Remington. These components go out to contracts for NATO transition countries where we're supplying guns to them that look like ours but made by whoever picks up the contracts.
Most likely it would be fine and shoot bullets ;-)

DPMS doesn’t make barrels.

Colt was tied-up making M240s, as FN was at capacity. Remington's M4 contract bid was lower than Colt's, which got them butt-hurt and they filed a protest under military and federal acquisition regs and law. The Army lost the protest and bid the contract again, and then FN won.
Remington has exported their version to the Armed Forces of the Philippines, which is replacing their M16A1s.
That CDNN barrel would make an awesome rainy day spare.

That's what I was thinking too, especially for the price. Thanks.

Just curious how Colt was manufacturing M240's? 240/249/46/48 are all FN designed and produced.
M4 contracts for partner or NATO transition countries are completely different which is where these components are coming from. That big pile of Georgian M4's Russia showed off being destroyed were Bushmaster rifles we bought them.

Scrolling down and checking related products, looks like they even have an 11.5”. Curious as to how these shoot.
