First off I should of spent the money I used for the Trust and am using on the Stamp for a case of 9mm and a class or 2, but SBR & Supressor fever have taken hold.
That being rather shamefully stated here is my situation, the trust is drafted and I had to place something in the trust in order for it to be 'solvent' so I picked my existing N4 gen 2 forged lower off of my 16" Recce Lo-Pro. So in order to send in the Form 1 I have to pick a length at this point I am pretty sure I want a 12.5" upper with Noveske's new NSR rail. What I am trying to achieve with this rifle is basically what I would consider a "Handi-Rifle" great all around general purpose, relatively light weight "without sacrificing reliability / functionality" and reliable POA/POI out to 250-300 Yards. I will be getting a 1-4x optic for it "either NF or Trijicon" And eventually a small dedicated 5.56 can "I am not looking to do anything more than take the 'rudeness' out of a 5.56 SBR".
So here are my questions is 12.5" the right length for what I want the gun to do?
How bad am I going to regret not getting a switchblock when I do get a dedicated 5.56 Can? "They don't fit under the NSR"
Side notes:
A factory 8" .300 Blk SBR will be coming home at some point in the next 2 years "with configuration leaning towards what is stated in the defensive carbine thread. "Ammo is still just a bit too high for my tastes and I know me delaying my purchase isn't helping this matter"
A Form 4 will be submitted before the end of the summer on an SDN6 which will eventually live on the 8" listed above.
Lastly a buddy of mine and I want to start attending appleseed events next year, how big a schmuck am I going to look like showing up with an SBR for the Centerfire events? "Assuming the ATF gets me my stamp in time"
As always any and all thoughts, criticisms and suggestions are greatly appreciated from this community.
Thanks,
Jay
