I have an upper that I don't use but I want to use it. It has a nice BCM upper receiver and a now discontinued Geissele [carbine length] handguard. It has a Colt 6720 16" skinny barrel with FSB. I have a lightweight barrel upper that I like so I really have no use for this one. So I want to re-barrel it to something I will use. I already have an upper with a Colt SOCOM profile and another with a Centurion SOCOM HF barrel. Both shoot well and are set up differently. My primary use in match shooting, usually 2 gun, out to 400m plus. Self defense if called upon. I want a place for my Aimpoint Comp M4 with magnifier.
So it must be:
Carbine gas system [due to existing handguard] and I want it to have a FSB.
High quality, e.g., Colt, FN, Centurion, BCM etc. I have a Ballistic Advantage barrel that is very accurate but over gassed, I don't want to risk that again.
Prefer 14.5/14.7
The easy button would be another Colt or Centurion SOCOM, but I'm thinking of maybe a Colt M4 profile. As long as I am capable [and so far I am] I want a high degree of practical accuracy. I can consistently hit from standing, kneeling and prone a full full size IPSC steel and a 2/3 size at 300m with iron sights.
So I am looking for ideas within my parameters and comments on the accuracy of the Colt M4 barrel vs SOCOM profile and my needs.
Thank you.
