What are the current markings and what were they before the LE/CR differences?

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By El_Abogado: What are the current markings and what were they before the LE/CR differences? The only difference in markings is a CR serial number prefix instead if an LE prefix. It's still a role of the dice as to what markings you get on the upper receiver (C or CAGE Code or no C or CAGE Code). |

So, can one swap out barrels or something to make a "regular" 6920 to a SOCOM? I know, very basic question, but I do like the SOCOM over the 6920.

I was looking over the weekend and gunbroker has a couple dealers that have some in stock still. $1499 but fees add up there I believe.

I've actually seen more than a few for sale locally, pretty decent prices too, less than msrp ranging from $1100-1400. That's not bad for a socom but I only want the upper though.

The lower markings are what made the socoms special. If that doesn’t matter to you, it’s basically just a barrel and safety swap, add the rail and buis and you are there. Better way to go would be to get a take off upper on the EE and sell the 6920 upper. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Ironknife: Mine came with an knights rail, I’ve some came with a DD rail The original ones (M4A1 only marked) used the KAC rail and then substituted it for a Troy rail. The Socom II version used a DD rail. The later US prop marked socom rifles used the KAC and I believe some had a P&S rail on them. The 2017 version I think only got a KAC rail but I’m not positive if it shipped with anything else or not. |
