Opinions on my first SBR

Is there any reason to go shorter than 11.5 inches?

I run a 10.3, but I deploy my rifle from my driver's seat. Unless you are dealing with extreme CQB, or want an authentic Mk18, (or in my case, both) go 11.5.

I went with 12.5 for mine. I also had to get enough barrel for my SPR/M4 in front of the rail. It is a wash between 11 and 12 though I lean towards 12.

Might sound like sacrilege, but I'd look at running an A5, and maybe 'downgrading' the trigger to an SSA. The A5 [search elsewhere on here] was helpful to me, especially opening up opportunities for suppressed/unsuppressed, and since I prefer longer stocks (ACS/ACS-L, EMOD) that don't catch beard hair between the RE and stock it isn't any added OAL except in storage collapsed configuration. As far as the trigger, the SSA (or G2S) might be a slightly heavier pull but it's still an excellent trigger and for my $0.02 worth it's a preferable trigger for SBR usage.

If you stick with the standard RE, then I'd go H2... but an H isn't bad (just don't put an ST2 in an SBR).
