Which barrel, standard or a 16" SOCOM profile?

veeklog [Team Member]

That is one nice rifle; I like the new roll mark from Colt. I wonder if they will replace the new "M-4" rollmark with the newer "M-4A1" roll mark

Doubtful, it would make the SOCOM model less "special."

Has it been determined what the barrell profile is on this model? I would assume SOCOM profile with the M4A1 designation? If so, it's gonna be almost as heavy as a 6721.....no thanks.

so odd how things change sometimes

I agree and remember back in 2005 when I was told by a prominent Colt purveyor that as a civvy I had no business owning a genuine Colt SOCOM barrel. I haven't seen a standard M4 profile 6921 upper for sale in a while.

I had one up a couple months ago along with a M4A1 profile upper. The M4A1 upper sold first, so I kept the M4 upper.

Yeah, you have been selling ALOT of nice stuff lately. That Colt A4 clone was really nice and hands down the best one i've seen.

Looks nice, but the SOCOM barrel is way to heavy and not needed.

You're right, and I wasn't even considering one, but the combination of the roll mark and the socom barrel... I guess I'll have to get one. The bad thing is, I've got two KAC RAS's, two MaTech BUIS's, and a Surefire 951 and 961 that were slated to go on the two LE6920's I was gonna buy this year. I suppose I'll get one of each, and be even happier, and sell the extra stuff on the EE. Then I'm gonna stop clicking on jagdkommando's threads, before I end up in the poor house, or a padded room.

Is the ambi-safety a new thing for Colt?...I didn't think any of their military rifles came with those.

Part of the M4 PIP (Product Improvement Program) is to replace the single sided selector on the M4 / M4A1 with an ambidextrous selector. DSA has posted a couple of times that they have been contracted to provide new ambidextrous selector levers based on the Colt design - probably for retro-fit of existing systems, while new military weapons will begin coming with them.

SOCOM on the other hand has been using aftermarket ambidextrous selector levers on their M4A1s for years, so it makes sense that Colt would "roll out" the ambi-selector with the SOCOM model.

The ambidextrous selector has actually been "planned" for decades, and was supposed to be one of the changes for the M16A2 and was used on the Colt ACR. That was the original reason for stamping selector markings on both sides of the M16A2's lower receiver.

It would be nice to see Colt tranistioning over to ambi-selectors on all their civilian models, but who knows if they will.

Thanks for the info Augee...very cool! The selector looks well thought out...short right throw lever...retention method looks solid.

to add to that, all current colt selectors can be used ambi, just remove it from right and re install on left, most people dont know that
sure its not got a lever on each side, but you can put it on either side depending on which is your killing hand and which is your alternate killing hand. they are easy to ID because its the new bigger lever

I love my LEO 6920 made during the ban, but I'd love a new 6920 with that rollmark.

I have an odd 6920, probably a "mistake gun" that has the standard law enforcement carbine markings on the left side but no LEO only markings on the right side.
Apparently, its a collectors item.

I believe that is a transition rollmark used during the AWB just prior to the adaptation of LEO/restricted-use markings. I recall seeing some 6721 Tactical Carbines also without LEO/restricted-use markings.

Thats what Mark Roberts at Colt told me when I spoke with him about it.

Trying to pin one of these down, in WA we have been having to pay sales tax on the value of the gun for transfers, and transfer fees are in excess of $50, sometimes around $75-100, so long story short I'm just going to get one when one of my local stores has one in stock. Or maybe if Impact Guns gets them in I might reschedule a trip to see my dad in Idaho and buy one in Boise. I'm dying for one!

~Augee

the LE901 shown at the Shot Show 2012 has the ambi selector... seems logical to think they will put it on 556 models as well soon or later

From what I understand, Colt has "wanted" to put an ambi-selector on the M16 since the early eighties - but to do so would require a change to the M16 / M4 specs that the goverment has been declining. Almost every prototype they build usually comes with an ambi-selector, and often a Norgon ambi-catch.

Military receivers have been marked on both sides in anticipation of an ambi-selector for thirty years...

So does this M4A1 roll mark not have the 5.56mm marking like the M4 model? Seems odd
