If the overall length is 14.5" - might as well just do 16" and forget about the SBR/NFA stuff. No need to give the feds anymore tax dollars... they just piss it away anyway :-)

My first SBR was a 10.5" LMT factory gun, works great, we have two more of their uppers on M16's at our PD and they run great too.
My second SBR was a factory BCM 11.5" gun and we have a few of their uppers at work too, they also run great. I would go the BCM 11.5" route again if I were to do it over again because of Paul's advice listed above. I believe his statement goes on to say if he had to pick a gun to go to war with it would be the 11.5" bbl. The 6933 is also an outstanding gun, also at 11.5" If I buy another factory SBR it will be a 6933.
Thanks for this.
I've been mulling over the decision to go with one or the other and think I'll just go Colt.
I'll be getting a pair as the gun(s) will be used as my duty rifle.
The Colt's will be set-up identically and will eventually have a suppressor.
Current (issued) duty rifle is a Bushmaster w/ 14.5" bbl (pinned) & EOTech.
If you were doing the same, would you go with the Vltor A5 kit on the Colt's?
Any suggestions for sourcing the Colt's?

Can't go wrong with this OP...I'm in the 11.5-12.5" camp as well, actually right in the middle at 12" and couldn't be happier with my 'foot long' :big_boss:
I'd humbly suggest a Centurion rail and G&R Tacticals LPK.
On my SBR, I also am a fan of Battle Arms' ambi safety and Vltor's emod. The emod, while heavier in comparison to stocks like the Magpul MOE or CTR, has a great cheekweld and balances a 11.5-12.5" SBR out nicely.
