Idle lower help
I have a full Daniel Defense SBR with a 9" 300 Blackout barrel. Given the current ammo situation, I haven't been shooting this gun lately. It's basically retired. But I could atleast still use the lower! So I've looked into acquiring a new upper in 223/556. Question is, what barrel length do I want?
I currently own a BCM 11.5" (AAC M42K suppressed) and a S&W 16" carbine.
I'd like to go with a 10.5" LMT upper for the DD lower. I have a Noveske KX3 Pig laying around to use if I go that route. Something tells me to stay away from an NFA upper at this time and go with a tried and true 16". But what's the point? I already run a 16" with the S&W.
Ultimately: KISS. I have a carry handle rear sight, and I want it to be carbine length because I have some plastic hand guards.
Should I shoot for middle ground with a 12.5 or 14.5? Or would a carry handle 10.5" fit my collection better?
Should I just wait to see if the 300 BLK ammo will come back around?
Will it?
