[QUOTE="JR777, post: 3563669, member: 45725"] The data doesn't lie. Henderson did some very meticulous record keeping, and the Colt bolts outlasted everything else, including FN if I remember correctly, by a big margin. The FN barrels you're talking about are double chrome lined, and accuracy suffers accordingly. Nothing comes even close to touching a Colt barrel in terms of accuracy and durability. You can get a slightly more durable barrel (e.g. the double lined FNs), and you can get a slightly more accurate barrel (e.g. match grade), but you can't get both. ETA: And what's this about HK supplying SOCOM? The 416 is the only thing I know about, but those aren't real common. As far as I know, Colt is still supplying bolts and barrels for the Mk18s.
