Cool, I've never made purchases items on GB. But $450 plus shipping is definitely better than $650.There are about two dozen on gunbroker right now. Buy it now price $450. I'm used to seeing them for about $600.

Any Colt guys here want to help with another price check? What about a 6920 SOCOM 16" upper (the original one with KAC rail)?

Rare barrel commercially and towards the end of the commercial run of the SOCOMs they went to a more inexpensive Troy rail IIRC, so the KAC version should be worth a little bit more. The complete rifles in new condition when available are going for around $1500 on GB so I would say around 800 for an excellent condition or new but secondhand used SOCOM upper. Just a guess.
The commercial SOCOM guns were also rollmarked M4A1 unlike regular 6920's so an upper without its original lower is not worth as much to collectors.
There is an LE 6920HB (Heavy Barrel) in very limited production now with standard plastic handguards. It is basically a 6920 with a SOCOM barrel without the rail. They will not be called SOCOM's though. Those could be a very limited release, I know some will come out but I am not sure how many or for how long. They are being marketed and advertised as heavy barrels however.

Are the SOCOM barrels still considered HBAR under current law? Or does it need to stay on a pre-2013 lower?
No, they would not be HBAR.
I think they would be but I do not have a formal ruling from MSP. They have been clear with me in the past that they consider anything advertised as, stamped, or otherwise indicated in writing to be an HBAR by the manufacturer, to be such for purposes of the law.

This is my impression as well. Colt advertises their SOCOM uppers as "Heavy barrels." I have this page printed out and carried with me:

Colt SOCOM barrels are MD legal. Colt advertised them as HBAR's on their website and MSP says marked or advertised by the MANUFACTURER as prerequisites.
The Socom would probably be the only Colt I would buy new.
