Thanks for the reply bud. I've shot the AR a lot, but yes you are correct in me being 'new' as you put it. The only reason I mentioned cutting the barrel so much is after doing a little bit of research on the internet (as I said in my first post) it appears the general consensus is for the price the 6920 is a hard rifle to beat.. and most of the ones I read about people have cut the barrel down to 14.5 and pinned. I would prefer to have the shortest package possible.. preference, I do understand the performance limitations and like I said I'm not worried about it. When I do an accurate rifle I'll pay more attention to those details. I'm looking for a good personal defense rifle, and would like something in a smaller more maneuverable package. I am also under the impression that cutting a barrel down would be the cheaper alternative to getting a new barrel and having that put on the rifle. I was also doing some reading about gas ports not needing to be resized if the barrel has been cut.
Some questions.. why go with BCM's 14.5 barrels as opposed to other companies such as Noveske? They seem to be renowned for quality of barrels and I have seen many swear by them. For a 14.5 barrel would I have to run a carbine length gas system if I put a 12'' rail on the rifle? Or would I be able to run a mid-length? I didn't really mean put the rifle together piece by piece, but would it be better to buy a complete rifle as opposed to different upper and lower receiver's? And is there any need to take a look at the .300blk for the 14.5 barrel?
Thanks again
