Cool. All good things to keep in mind for future builds. You know, when I started out, I was just gonna build this one...lol.

Nice! I may get a suppressor once this rifle is built but I will prolly wait to SBR for another build.

'FORCE"???

Yeah, they tend to multiply.

And I've gotten a couple more since the picture was taken.

$3k+ in ATF stamps and ya couldn't even iron the sheet before taking the picture?!...lol

I think this answers my question...

No, barrel and can length are considered separate. For instance, consider barrels with integral suppressors.

I was thinking more of the screw on suppressor but an integrally suppressed 9mm gave me the insppiriation...lol. It was a product shot on the foreend I purchased...

why?...lol...$200

I am about $600 into an $800 build. If I go suppressed SBR, that adds $400 on top of the cost of the suppressor. Each stamp is more than I have spent on any one component of this rifle. I have been buying a part here and a part there as I have a little spare change. $400 is alot of spare change...lol

Yeah, if I went SBR, blackout would be my choice in regards to ballistics, but I can't remember the last time I saw blackout on the shelf. I will probably just go 16" 5.56 for this one.

Just toying with the idea. I have the parts for my build to the barrel nut. Now is when the decisions as to barrel, muzzle device and gas system length are being made...lol. The 15" foreend will go around a can. So if I were to go shorter on the barrel and intergrate a suppressor in the 16" total length range, it sounds like an idea but that would be $400 in stamps over and above the cost of the components. If I made the union permanent, I might be able to lose one of the $200 stamps...lol

So far, I have gotten opinions (that need to be verified...lol) that as long as the suppressor is pinned and welded to the barrel, it satisfies the 16" rule but you still are on tap for the suppressor stamp.

I see that but if you have a 14.5" barrel and pin 1.5" of muzzle brake on it, it is not an SBR. Can you do the same with a can in lieu of the brake? and only pay the suppressor stamp?

But if a muzzle brake is pinned it counts as part of the barrel for NFA purposes??

If I build a rifle with a 10.5" barrel but I pin 6" worth of suppressor on it, will it still require the SBR stamp as well as the suppressor stamp? Or will the pinned suppressor extend the barrel length for NFA purposes?
