I will be putting in my order for a 14.5" barrel tomorrow most likely, but I have a question.  I will be ordering the barrel, f marked FSB and carbine gas tube.  I have my own flash hider and LaRue rails, so eventually I will need to take the FSB off to install the handguards.  Is there a better way of ordering the kit?  Perhaps havve the barrel prepped for the FSB, but shipped off the barrel?  Not sure the smartest route.  Any advice?

Thanks, and looking forward to my order (Wait is the wait time on the 14.5" lightweight M4 barrels?)

Nevermind.  Heard from Adco (who is building my upper for me) and they told me what they prefered.  Order is in!  How long is the wait for 14.5 Barrel assemblies right now?

Just bumping this up.  Order confirmation makes no mention of ETA.  Any idea how long for 14.5 gov't profile M4 bbl with FSB and gas tube?  Just wondering if I am looking at days or weeks.  Planning other purchases around it.

Thanks!!

We have 14.5" gov't M4s and lightweights on hand.  Orders have been taking about 2 weeks to fill (looks like answering this request does too ).  We can send the barrel with the FSB off if you'd prefer.

Any idea when the SOCOM 14.5" barrels will be coming in?

Now that you mention it......  I ordered an M4A1 upper back on 12/20.  

Inquiring minds want to know.

One man's opinion: I ordered a 14.5 with perm. Phantom QD and the work is beautifully done.  I wouldn't hesitate to order another if I had the funds.

I finally got a reply to my emails today.  Not really what I wanted to hear.

Looks like the 14.5" SOCOM profile barrels just went out for MP testing and chrome.  They said they should be back in 6 - 8 weeks.  Then another 7 - 14 days for the build??  That'd be over 3 months wait since I ordered.

I don't know whether to wait or cancel and look elsewhere.

All I can tell you is that I'm glad I waited for mine and hope to be able to get another at some point in the future.  Depends on if you really want one or if just you want something quick.  Good luck wih your decision.
