    You'll dig that upper, I have the same one minus the VIS. I'd seriously consider an A5 system to go with that.

    I run precisely what IG has posted here:

    Has been 100% reliable with this upper so far, mix of Federal XM193, Prvi M193, American Eagle .223, Tulammo, Wolf, MK318, PMC Bronze, maybe a few others. Very consistent and reliable buffer system, Sometimes its even hard to tell the difference between 5.56 and .223.


    ETA: You can usually find the A5 receiver extension and A5H4 buffer sold separately from the kit. I know DSG and Operations Parts have the buffer and I believe BCM has the RE (off the top of my head). Pick up the spring from Brownells or directly from Sprinco. Add a castle nut and the end plate of your choice and you're ready to rock. It may cost a little more but I feel it is worth it!

    I appreciate all the information given. I didn't mean to ask for a handout, but most of my time is spent in nursing school clinicals so I didn't have a ton of time to search. I guess I plan on using the rifle for a few classes when funds permit and home defense. I asked about length because I looked at several rifles and didn't know if I would be better suited for an SBR or a longer rifle. I am a new rifle shooter and honestly I really don't know the pros and cons to each platform. I don't mind tinkering, but this would be a new ball park for me.

    I personaly would have got a Colt 6933. The colt is a factory sbr , so no additional markings on your receiver needed, great resale value. You could also suppress the colt, they work great with any cans, and would have saved you some money you could use for traning.

    Are you looking to build this rifle, or buy it ready-to-go?

    I've built two SBRs, both on 11.5 BCM barrels, with BCM BCGs and H2 buffers. I get 2443 fps from PMC Bronze (55gr .223). I chose 11.5 because, according to Paul at BCM, that length compared to 10.5 gives 40% more dwell time. Both rifles have run flawlessly from day one.

    If you're preference is to buy one assembled, I'd look at a 12.5 or 10.5 Noveske. If you think you might run a suppressor, get a Noveske with switchblock.

    If you buy one turn-key, no engraving, right?

    Yes, if you buy an SBR from a licensed mfgr, their standard company rollmark will suffice since they are the maker, not you. The rifle will be held until your Form 4 clears and you get the stamp.

    The rifle will be held by my dealer, or mfr? I thought it transferred to my dealer just like a suppressor after state forms, and F3 cleared (I live in Louisiana, we have to have state and federal forms in this commie place)

    I believe if you buy the complete rifle, your dealer holds it while your Form 4 clears. I know that if you own a complete Noveske non-SBR lower, you can buy a Noveske SBR upper, send them the lower, and they'll make it into a complete SBR and hold it for you until the Form 4 clears, then transfer it back directly to you. No engraving by you would be necessary in that circumstance.

    I don't know anything about state forms. Not required here. In fact, I don't believe that state law here even requires that it be registered.

    Yeah, I didn't want the sbr sitting with the dealer for 6-7 months.... So I built mine as a pistol- as a means to an end when the paperwork clears, quick addition of stock and voila- SBR.
