Happy New Year everybody!
![]() Here's to hoping that we'll actually get our 37mm barrels sometime this year. ![]() ![]() |

Well, learned a stupid lesson today. The 203 cant fit a m4a1 profile barrel. Too much girth on that baby. Back to the standard m4.
|
|
![]() Are you referring to the SOCOM (heavy) profile? I thought that was why the wrench flats were there - so that the rear jaws of am M203 could slide over them? |
|
Yea second mistake. I did some research and realized i wasnt sold a real socom m4a1 barrel. It is marked colt but the profile is off.

You need the 14-1/2" SOCOM USGI barrel. The 16" civilian SOCOM doesn't have the M203 cuts View Quote I have a question for this group. Treat this as a hypothetical, and not a commercial offer: For those who have ordered / purchased the 37mm launcher, would you: A) be interested in buying a new Colt 40mm barrel for $550; b) be interested in buying a new LMT 40mm barrel for $425; c) not be interested in either option |

Seeing as how there is only one company that is making the barrels for everybody, it doesn't matter if it's Colt, or LMT, or the local gun store offering the barrels. All that matter's is if it's 37mm or 40mm specs & the price... which currently for 40mms is @ $400 apiece.
So the question (for me) really is - Would I be willing to spend @ $400 for a separate 37mm or 40mm barrel assembly? - & the answer to that is simply... yes. |

Colt definitely.
But I'd settle for an LMT if that was all that was available. ATF NFA Branch cashed my check 3 days after receiving the Form 1(usually they cash mine around 2 wks). Hopefully it means things will be expedited. Then again, probably not. ![]() |

Bunch-o non-senes going on in here.
I'd like to personally thank AU for setting this up and making it possible for this to happen. I have been a repeat customer and have not had any issues what so ever with any of my purchases. If this wasn't put together the way that it was, I would have never been able to have one of these due to the strangely stupid gun laws we have in Maryland. So again, thanks and ignore the keyboard commandos. |

For the guru's here: I'm putting it on a Colt M4A1, and need to swap the barrel for one with the cutouts. So need to pin on an extended flash hider to be 16"+.
...Is there an appropriate aftermarket flash hider / suppressor adapter that works for a sopmod clone?? Rather not use the A2X, but at the same time a suppressor mount that would interfere with the 203 if the suppressor were mounted would just look goofy too. So I turn to arfcom...what longer flash hider for a sopmod clone to work with the 203? ETA: 14.5" m4A1 barrel here: http://www.gandrtactical.com/Colt-145-M4-SOCOM-Barrel-w-FSB_p_332.html Thoughts on those, better deals elsewhere? Anybody know how those are marked? |

12" barrels got shipped to us, those should start leaving our warehouse by end of next week. And 9" will follow
|
|
That is great news! Any pictures? Availability of spares? I bought a 9" and would love the opportunity to pick up a 12". Thanks again for making this happen!
|

We won't have any spares for a while, but we will eventually have them.

Most likely need 10-20 people to meet Colt’s minimum order requirements |

AU already said that the barrels come from one manufacture and that there are no distinct markings on the barrel of LMT vs Colt. Are you sure the manufacture is going to make a run of barrels for 10-20 people? AU has 300 that are already waiting, lol.

View Quote In regards to what barrel, I only know of two (I am sure someone else knows of another) which is Colt and BCM. Grant is a great merchant, you can ask him. I know a couple others, but as far as a "deal," no. You will pay for a good SOCOM 14.5" barrel. It is, btw, a relatively hard item to find in-stock. Those who have Colt's have only a few, and from what I have seen, BCM is often OOS. |

Quoted: OK, @cthorton then what IS the difference? View Quote LMT marks their M203 barrels with an LMT part number laser engraved. They might get them from the same place as Colt but once they get into LMT's facility, they are clearly marked with LMT specific markings, thus an LMT barrel on a Colt receiver would not be a factory matching assembly. AU saying a LMT and Colt M203 barrel are identical is a very misleading answer, and doesn't answer the question people here asking for factory matching 40mm barrels for their Colt receiver. |

I have answered the question. You simply keep repeating it.
There is 1 manufacturer of M203 barrels in the US who supplies Colt, LMT etc. They agreed to make the 37mm barrels for this Colt release. The 37mm barrels supplied by us are correct, there are no special markings that differentiate them, so by appearance the Colt M203 37mm will look just like the real deal. The 12-inch barrels will be going out shortly and I am positive some one will post photos of them on this thread. As for you looking to find a 40mm barrel after you form1 the receiver, that has nothing to do with us as we will not be offering 40mm barrels to prevent any issues later, it is up to you to source them BUT it is pretty easy to find surplus 40mm barrels and new ones can be bought through LMT, there are generally NO distinguishable markings. I can't say for certain they have never had some super tiny print markings with numbers on them as I am not the manufacturer, if you want a different answer so badly call Colt or LMT to ask, I was told they don't mark them. The receivers are where the distinguishable markings are and they are obviously Colt correct. Quoted: What did you expect when you started selling these M203 receivers?
