New Colt 6920 HBAR Pinned and Welded Model

ericoak · May 6, 2017

There have been a lot of Socom profile 14.5" barrels floating around out there, and looks like Colt is pin/welding a flash hider now and selling them as title 1 guns.

Nice.

outrider58 · May 6, 2017

Good on them. There is a HUGE market out there asking for these barrels. Very smart move on Colt's part.

Damn it man, like my want list wasn't big enough without this...lol.

This isn't new. Colt has sold the Socom I&II rifles before with P&W flash hiders. Probably the only Colt I would buy.

Got a link? I can't find it, all I can find is people pinning and welding 14.5" barrels themselves.

All references to the UPC seem to be new.

Is that an accurate picture of what the AR looks like? Because it is advertised as HBAR but still has a cut out?

Colt is weird. They sell the SOCOM off and on. Now if you buy a barrel from Colt they either need to be pinned and welded, built as an SBR or built as a pistol. No idea how they handle complete uppers (whether they are factory p&wed or not) but the complete rifles that have been sold have all had p&wed barrels. They where Title I guns. Lou handled a shipment of 50 or so LE guns and I got to fingerfvck em all.

The Colt SOCOM barrel/upper/rifle is a MD legal HBAR. Colt advertises them as HBARs and they are the manufacturer. Per MSP dealer guidance "stamped as HBAR or advertised by the manufacturer as HBAR" for compliance with the FSA 2013 regulations.

There's been like 50 threads on this in the past year and no one has proven me wrong despite several attempts.

Not at all trying to prove wrong at all was wondering more if the picture was an "identical" match of the product. And if so just provides solid evidence that Frosh and the MSP are better off wiping them selves with their "regulations/ laws"

Are you sure those weren't 16" Socoms? I have seen 6920 16" Socoms (LE6920SCMCK), 6921 14.5" Socoms not p&w (LE6921SCMCK), 14.5" not p&w (LE6921CK), but never 14.5 Socom p&w until the last month or so. Or are we talking 50 guns custom made for LE agency?

Wasn't saying you where. The SOCOM barrel is heavier than a gov't profile barrel under the handguards. It still has an M203 notch ahead of the gas block even though part if the SOCOM Block I/II upgrades changed the M203 to a rail mount making the M203 notch superfluous.

We should be thankful in some facets that MSP LD and the AG are complete retards in the field of firearm laws.

ericoak · May 6, 2017

It's definitely a HBAR. Look at that thing.

Doitsouthstyle · May 7, 2017

Very interesting a new toy to add to the wish list. Thank you for clarifying that guys.

outrider58 · May 7, 2017

Says "Heavy" :shrug:

dreadpirate · May 7, 2017

Does anyone sell just the upper? That would be an awesome alternative upper for my 6721.

Not the same upper, that is a 16" barrel.

Sorry, they sell a stripped version of the barrel, but not the complete upper.

Wish there were more 14.5 in uppers out there not P&W'ed. I'm fine having that done but I want the brake on it which my can attaches onto.
