I see exactly where they were going with this. As far as complaints on length, how difficult to conceive would an LE/NFA version with a 2" shorter can built off an 8" barrel be? They've got the manufacturing capacity, and a 9" MFAR rail is do-able on a setup that's 3-4" shorter than this and sports a removable thread-on suppressor (that could be swapped with the longer version).
Johnny spelled out the market - given the length of most 7.62 cans, a 10.5" barrel plus one of those (SF 7.62M, AAC SDN-7) you're within a nickel's diameter in OAL. If you require no other 30cal suppression, and especially if you're in an SBR prohibited but Suppressor OK state, this is a pretty usable answer.
