The reason I asked, is because a 14.5" barrel plus a hard-soldered flash suppressor can equal a non-NFA 16" barrel length. The 11.5" barrel can't get to the legal length without looking silly (like an M-Faux with all that extra barrel hanging out past the front sight; go ahead, mount that bayonet!)doc540 wrote:Barrel length is a good question. I'm at work and can't measure it to see how much of it's 11.5"
For a close-quarters gun, I don't think 11.5+ has any advantage over 16" total length.
