    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.

    There are alot of things you need to know when building an SBR to make it run. Buffer type, springs, ammo, etc...

    If you get a BCM upper 99.9% sure that it will run assuming that you have educated yourself of what it takes to make that happen.

    1. BCM 11.5" upper receiver group (handguard or rail of your choice)

    2. BCM BCG.

    3. Vltor A5 kit with H4 buffer and green Springco spring.

    4. Lower reciever and parts. (quality of your choice).

    5. Stock (your choice).

    If you follow the basis of the above I am fairly confident that your SBR will perform as it should.
    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'

    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.

    I thought they nix'ed that program awhile ago. The info is gone from the Noveske site. I would do this is a heart beat if they still offered it.

    Apparently it disappeared shortly after I posted. Try calling and asking about it. You can get the straight scoop.

    Never knew that existed. Neat idea
