This video provides a physical examination of the Mennie Machine Company 14.5" SOCOM U.S. Government Contract Barrel. The content focuses on the specifics of this particular barrel, likely aimed at firearm enthusiasts, builders, or those interested in military-contracted components.
When running a 16-inch 5.56 barrel with a mid-length gas system and a lightweight BCG, the appropriate buffer weight depends on the barrel profile. For a government profile barrel, an 'H' (heavy) buffer is recommended. If the barrel is a heavier SOCOM profile, an H2 buffer would be more suitable. This recommendation aims to optimize the firearm's cycling and reliability.
