And Thus Begins the Wait...

What did you get?

I'm building my first SBR. Just a standard 5.56 AR with a 7.5 inch barrel. I'll post a pic of what I have so far in a few minutes.

When money allows, I have plans for a suppressor or two down the road.

Yes, I understand that most suppressors aren't warrantied on a barrel shorter than 10 inches... A 10.5 inch upper is also on the horizon

EDIT: Here's a pic of the future goodness:

The BCG, LPK, and Pistol buffer tube should all be here within the next few days. The JP Handguard is not exactly what I expected it to be (yes I understand it is mounted upside down in the picture). It has a very rough texture and I was expecting something smooth(er) and longer.. I thought the 7" measurement for the handguard began and the back edge of the handguard, not at beginning of the barrel nut... My mistake. I might trade it for something longer just because it would look a lot better. Decisions, decisions!

BS. I have 2 uppers that are less than 10" , 7 if you count the pistols.


RCCrawler. Out of curiosity why the 22 SBR vs. doing an ar lower then using a dedicated 22 upper on it? This would give you multi lower versatility.

Regarding wait time. Don't hold your breath, or follow any listings. My Form 4 has been there since April and as of yesterday i was told, DECEMBER. Happy Kwanza to me
That's 8 months........................

Use a low sodium butter i think some of the examiners health is questionable, If not they should be moving faster.

I'll echo Jim's sentiments on silencers on 7.5's. I've run thousands of rounds with an Ops M4s and an Ops 15 attached to a 7.5", and have had no issues of any sort. When I called the guy who made my cans, his only suggestion was that I use the brake mount instead of the flash-hider mount, as it takes the brunt of the abuse and is the stronger of the two.
