SFW barrel

[Shazam]

Anyone know where you can buy a 16" Colt Canada (Diemaco) style SFW barrel? It would be for a small pin upper so I was just looking for the barrel as they are US legal length. (14.5" M4 bbl are non ATF compliant for Canadians)

The only difference would be the barrel lugs for the bayonet.

THis is the closest that I found so far:

The SFW comes with a KAC M4RAS, the C8FTHB is the upper w/o RAS

Diemaco/ColtCanada barrels have M4 feedramp cuts -- but ones for the CF are put on the "weaver" spec rails and non M4 cut uppers (using old stock)

Its a heavy 16" barrel with a "Simon Sleeve"

Kevin, what is the purpose of the Simon Sleeve? Is it part of the barrel or does it slide on after the fact?

 

[KevinB]

After the effect.

It is so the M203A1 will fit

Thats great info/. Thanks KB.

Anyone know where one could acquire a Grenade Launcher Munting Sleeve? Is that metal or rubber?

 

[KevinB]

Its metal -- its uber ghey.

I appreciate the idea of making an SFW clone however you would have to machine the sleeve and press it on (or I guess for looks you could make a looser fit one and have it affixed via a few set screws)

I used to have the dimensions of the sleeve -- but so as I dont garner any further hatred from Colt Canada I won't be posting them or recommending ways to get them.

No problem will consider other 16" bbl configurations for US use.
