Planning my first SBR - 6.5G, nitrided Criterion 11.5" or 12.5" from PF. Any idea of what the barrel weights are? Emails to PF are unanswered; plus, it's taken 25 weeks for a nitrided Criterion 16" 6.5G but worth the wait IMO.
I figure each barrel inch is about 3 ounces, so barrel weight is about 21 ounces (11.5") or about 24 ounces (12.5")??
What recoil can I expect? I've had reliable function, low recoil, quick follow-up shots with SLR Sentry 7 adjustable gas blocks + VLTOR A5/3.8 ounce buffer + JP LMOS BC (6.8 ounces). I'm open to brake suggestions, BCG, buffer for the SBR. I plan on a Law Tactical folding stock adapter (11 ounces but great for discreet transport).
Is it ok to shoot steel case (bi-metal bullets) suppressed to enjoy the SBR more affordably? The plan is a 5" TBAC titanium (7 ounces). For self-defense, I figure 129g ABLR, 123g AMAX, etc. Planned glass is a 1-8x Burris Elite Tactical FFP (24 ounces + mount). Weight adds up quickly so I'm open to glass ideas.
Much appreciated! - Hans
