Originally posted by BluntForceTrauma View PostRegarding barrel length, as I've studied the issue and tried to see a pattern and figure out rhyme or reason, I see SBR barrel lengths all over the place. AA has their 10.5 echoing what the SEAL boarding parties use. But why did the SEALs choose 10.5? In the industry, 11.5 and 12.5 are common. Why 11.5? Why 12.5? When the Army tried to develop the XM8 carbine, they settled on 12" as the optimum standard length. Why? LaRue sells a 12". Lilja sells an 11.5" and a 12.875". Is there some magic in 12.875"? What I see, in the final analysis, is guys just pick a length and run with it.
So my thinking is to split the difference between the common 11.5 and 12.5. I know the claims are that a 10.5 on a carbine gas system is just fine for reliability, but I like a little more barrel, a touch more dwell time, in front of the gas block. For a product line, I like that 12 is different enough from 16 to make the SBR a different animal. If I start creeping up in length, then the whole point of an SBR becomes moot and why not just make it a 14.5 or a 16?
So that brings us to 12".

I thought(and I don't know why) you could buy the barrel but had to do the paperwork before you could assemble a sbr.Knowing everthing isnt as important as knowing where to find it.
