I like Colt heavy barrels but...

[Esq.]

Did those have the FSB??

Mine did, I think they had both versions- with and without. It was all stuff from the Remington/DPMS/Bushmaster bankruptcy sale....I bought one and as soon as I got it in and gave it a good once over I bought 5 more. They kept going up until at the end when they finally sold out I think they were $149 but I got mine all at $99. A real bargain I thought.

I remember seeing a thread on them. I must have been broke at the time, because I'm a sucker for an FSB carbine barrel.

I love that this thread exists. I open ol roosters ads daily just for the laughs. I hate that he spams the EE but at least it's entertaining.

It's the large font, all caps boomer posting that keeps me coming back.

It appears more than I even knew take notice of those.

My dad got me one of those during the Clinton Ban. Ramped carrier, type 2 hammer, large trigger/hammer pins... and that 16" HBAR. Still a good Colt, but lots of negative features.

The only thing they are good for is hanging suppressor off of. This is one thing Colt Lightweight barrels don't do so well as they produce a lot of whip. But M4 barrels seem to do everything 16" Hbars do so it's one carbine I'll never need.

I do have a 20" Hbar, but that is another discussion. Still a heavy beast that I'd hate to carry very far.

Thinking you did not do very much side by side testing with your samples...

I did.

I bought bigly on that one as well. CDNN does that sort of stuff frequently...

The ones I got were advertised as having front sight post only (no front sight or detent or spring) but it was all there on all of them + the delta ring and all of that stuff. Excellent score.

Have bought plenty of 'discontinued' Colt parts from them dirt cheap at times as well.

hahahaha, that's rich. I'll also bet one didn't sell and he put that there to drive the interest.
