I dont really want to go through the hassle of a "true" SBR, paying another tax stamp and waiting, getting the lower engraved, having to keep it with the upper permantenly etc. I am already going to be replacing the flash hider with a Phantom QD for my suppressor and it doesnt need to come off so shortening the barrel and pinning keeps it at the 16" legal max and provides just that much more swing in the barrel. My DPMS is a 1:9 twist and I normally shoot 55Gr and 62Gr so that if fine but a true M4 barrel is 1:7 like the Daniels Defense. Of course it is about $60 to have my existing barrel cut and crowned and $275 for a replacement barrel so that is why I am looking into it.
