I just finished my Remington 14.5” SOCOM I bought a few months ago; John Thomas parkerized under the FSB and P&W a A2 flash hider after he added one of his spacers to make it over 16”. I still have the Remington 11.5” barrel and trying to decide what I want to do with it.

My Remington 14.5” SOCOM barrel I bought during Christmas time; I finally finished it when I got back from TDY. The list of the parts are Remington 14.5” SOCOM barrel, AO Precision F/A BCG, M-4 upper I bought from Right to Bear Arms, BCM Mod 3 charging handle, USGI carry handle, KAC RAS, and Streamlight Protac weapon light. I will probably change out the Streamlight with a Surefire Scout I have with SR-07 rail mounted pressure pad.
I still have my Remington 11.5” SOCOM barrel I need to finish; I am trying to decide whether to buy a BCM flattop receiver or use the spare A2 upper I have in my parts bin to build a Colt 723 clone. If I decide to build a 723 clone, I would need to send it to John Thomas to have the barrel parkerized under the FSB (like he did on my 14.5” barrel) and to have the M-4 feedramps done on the A2 receiver.

Broke down and bought one as a spare. This is sure to turn into a complete upper at some point...
