Talk me out of going back to a 7.5" 5.56 (from .300blk)

This one is most likely never going to be shot at over 50-75 yards and I know its limits.
I have not had one single issue in my range trips. I've got approx 300 rounds of Hornady TAP FPD and another 200 of various types of 223/556 ammo through it without a single problem. I zeroed my aimpoint at 50 yards and shot a few 3 shot groups. All of those groups were sub 1" and 2 of them had all 3 rounds touching which is WAY better than I expected.
I highly recommend the Rainier select barrel if you're not dead set on the Faxon barrel. It has been flawless so far! It is about $210 but well worth it.
What sort of comp to you have on it? I think when going shorter than a 10.3 this plays the greatest factor in reliability on such short guns. The only way I would do a build like the is with a linear comp such as a Noveske KX3, KX5 or a suppressor.
Just something to increase the back pressure into the receiver to help the function of the gun.

It has the Noveske KX5 on the end. It is insanely awesome. Really directs the blast forward. I run it with a standard carbine spring and H2 buffer and it functions flawlessly. Rainier recommends an H buffer with their 7.5 barrel but I figured with the extra back pressure the KX5 is supposed to create I'd try it with the H2 and it worked great. Have a 9 inch rail so the KX5 pokes out the front about 1.25 inches. It looks pretty cool too
