Colt Mfg M4 Carbine, 5.56mm, 14.5" P&W Barrel, 1- 30rd Magazine, Rifle

Colt M4A1 SOCOM 5.56 NATO Rifle, 14.5" Pinned & Welded Barrel, 30rd, Black

The Colt M4A1 SOCOM is a semi-automatic 5.56 NATO rifle built around the recognizable configuration of the M4A1 carbine. Its defining feature is a heavy-profile, 14.5-inch SOCOM barrel with an extended flash hider permanently pinned and welded in place, bringing the barrel assembly to 16.1 inches. The black rifle pairs that distinctive barrel with a Knights Armament quad rail, collapsible stock and one 30-round magazine.

For collectors who value the details of a military-style reproduction, the lower receiver carries Property of the US Govt, M4A1 Carbine and Cal. 5.56mm markings. The configuration also includes a side sling swivel at the gas block and an ambidextrous safety selector. These features give the rifle a cohesive identity that carries through its appearance, furniture and controls.

14.5-Inch SOCOM Barrel with Pinned and Welded Flash Hider

The barrel uses chrome moly vanadium steel, a matte-black finish and a 1:7 twist. Its heavy SOCOM profile includes the distinctive M203 flats beneath the handguard, preserving a key detail of the configuration. The extended flash hider is a permanently attached part of the barrel assembly.

The two barrel measurements describe different parts of the same rifle: 14.5 inches is the barrel itself, while 16.1 inches includes the pinned-and-welded flash hider. That distinction matters when comparing this model with carbines that use a conventional 16-inch barrel and a removable muzzle device. This rifle retains the shorter SOCOM barrel profile while incorporating the permanently extended muzzle assembly.

Knights Armament Quad Rail and Included Vertical Grip

The Knights Armament quad rail provides four accessory-rail surfaces around the fore-end. Its recognizable shape is central to the SOCOM configuration and gives the rifle a traditional carbine appearance. A vertical grip is included, adding another component associated with this complete setup.

The rail and fixed front-sight arrangement preserve the visual character that makes the M4A1 SOCOM appealing as a reproduction. The handguard also provides a clear interface for compatible rail accessories, with actual accessory fit determined by the dimensions and mounting requirements of each component.

Iron Sights, Collapsible Stock and Ambidextrous Safety

An A2 front sight and folding rear sight provide the rifle's iron-sight system. The rear sight can fold when its upright profile is unnecessary. The black synthetic stock is collapsible, allowing its length to suit the user, and the ambidextrous selector makes the safety accessible from either side of the receiver.

The aluminum receiver has a black anodized finish that complements the matte-black barrel and black furniture. A side sling swivel at the gas block provides a dedicated forward sling attachment. The rifle weighs 6.95 pounds and measures 32 inches in overall length.
