    Default SBR length with suppressor opinions

    Ok,
    So should have a trust set up soon so now I really need to decide what I want to do here.
    Want:
    SBR w/ suppressor for HD, SHTF, and because I want one.
    Plan:
    build it over an 18 month period starting with the SBR paperwork followed a few months later with the suppressor paperwork
    Thoughts:
    Again, this is more of a "I want one" gun, then any real need, but it will be the home defense gun. I'm leaning towards a simple screw on suppressor as I don't see me taking it on/off a lot. I don't think I want to pin it to get to 16" because I never say never.
    Reaching out and being somewhat accurate at the 200 yard range would be satisfactory for my intentions
    With that....
    Questions:
    11.5 or 12.5 barrel??
    What suppressor??

    I'm leaning towards an 11.5 for compact size and don't want to go lower than that but to be honest, I don't know if adding in inch will drastically improve performance while loosing some in the house maneuverability.
    I'm leaning towards a YHM Phantom (looking at Silent Precision website) for cost reasons and because I don't really feel I need to go overboard with it (at this time...haha)
    I really don't want to long of a can keeping the CQB concept in mind.
    Anybody out there give this noob some advice before he fills out his form in a few weeks for barrel length?
    (I'm buying a house at the end of the month so I don't expect to be sending in the paperwork until early september.)

    Home defense? Are you going with a 300 BLK round to keep things subsonic?

    11.5
    this is a 11.5. currently running a AAC 18T A1 style f/hider and (not pictured) M4-2K suppressor.
    My suggestion with NFA approval time running 11 months, EASY, submit BOTH at the same time. It's $200 more than your budget might allow however 11 months!! Elephants gestation period is shorter

    If you're building it.. Go 300blk.

    220g sub loads w/ a suppressor all you hear is the bolt slap.

    I've got 5 stamps waiting currently.

    You're not going to see too much difference between an 11.5 and a 12.5 when it comes to maneuverability in a house. Both barrels should easily be able to make hits out to 200.

    If you want, I'll give you a shout when I get home in a couple of weeks and we can hit the range so you can mess around with a 11.5 with a Gemtech Trek (thread on) and a 10.5 with a SF 556.212 (QD).
