    That's an excellent price. May have to get another one.

    I'm not sure how to describe "Tactical" advantages of an SBR. I do know that with my MK18 (I know not the same thing) its lighter, more maneuverable than my my standard 16" rifles.

    The 6933 will be my next SBR. I say get it, or 2, and have no worries.

    I'm sure I could use the search function and eventually discover an opinion, but I have a small child, I work like a dog, and I know you guys are smart and willing to share your experience with a newbie.

    I'm not new to guns but I'm new to the AR platform. I have several handguns, an AK and a couple milsurps.

    I've convinced myself that I need an AR ( I really just want one), for the fun of shooting carbine classes and SHTF situations. It seems to me that an SBR has a lot of advantages for urban warfare and does not give up a lot of accuracy for 100 yd type shoots. I was originally planning on a build, but then I found the Colt 6933.

    Seems like I'd save little with a custom build, but have the warranty and customer service of a Colt if I went this route.

    That being said, there seems to be some credible discourse about the reliability of a carbine vs a mid-length or full-length gas system. Being an SBR, the Colt 6933 just exacerbates the issues concerning the carbine gas system.

    I really have no opinion because I am so new but I would appreciate opinions. I guess this is a discussion about tactical advantages of an SBR vs the mechanical reliabilty of a longer gas system.
