    8. Also I don't have a big budget to work with, so I can't go super high end. I want to be able to protect my family, and while I'm not trying to cheap out with the highpoint of ARs to protect my family, I can't go super high end either.

    The above which is attributed to you, is going to solve part of your problem. Your best option is to contact Grant at GandRTactical and get one of his Colt 6920's or BCM carbines. Add a light and a sling and then use that until you can modify your existing weapon.

    You don't need a rail and the NFA option isn't practical at this point. Parts are still expensive and you still need to wait 6-8 months for BATFE approval.

    Very true... sorry. Anyways my honest suggestion would to not worry about going the SBR route unless you really just want an SBR. The inside of a house isn't somewhat confining but it is nothing so significant that a 16" or 14.5" can't handle it easily. I don't know what your budget is, but LMT, BCM, and Colt are very dependable, high quality, and not overly expensive ARs and would be my personal top picks. If these are priced a little high for you, you can maybe look into PSA since they seem to be fairly cheap but still pretty decent. I would add a KAC RAS M4 (used for like $90-100), an Aimpoint PRO, and a good light (preferably one with the momentary on option since a light kinda gives away your position in a dark house) and that would be it. Obviously optics and rails can be different depending on your preference but this is simply what i would do.

    Of course a can would be nice but if you have to deal with an intruder, i don't think the noise will bother you all that much. And a suppressor would add a significant amount of extra cost to the build. Can + SBR = automatic $400 that you are simply handing over to the gov. I had a few friends who refused to wear ear pro over in Iraq/Afghanistan and they seem to be getting along alright at the moment.

    Alright that post and the previous "anything else is gay" comment are 2 of the most entertaining comments I've read in quite a while.

    Seriously though OP NFA not considered my HD rifle is a 14.5" middy DD FSB pencil barrel with a BCM Comp Mod 1, & a MOE handguard.

    Vltor MUR1A, BCM BCG, Aimloint T1, Surefire M600C (w/clicky tail cap) on a MOE Scout mount which is absolutely fantastic for switch manipulation.

    Lower has a Vltor A5 w/a Redi-Mag attached. Very light considering I have an extra mag on board of which I consider a great plus. Normally what you grab in the middle of the night is all that you'll have with you.

    ETA: Anything else would be considered uncivilized..... or gay.

    End of thread.

    Honestly, this is pretty much what I was thinking, as well. Even the configuration is dead-on, with the exception of the stock.

    If not going the NFA route, a quality 16" carbine or middy from Colt/BCM/DD/LMT, with an Aimpoint PRO and Magpul MOE handguard with a Streamlight TLR-1 attached to it, would be the way to go. Your choice of sling, but the choices from Vickers or VTAC will both do well.

    Building an AR For Home Defense(tech branch load of questions)

    Hey,
    Go to Wally World and get a Colt 6920. It's a lot easier buying a good rifle already put together. I used to think putting rifles together was cool. I just think it's a big hassle now. The Colt is the best bang for the buck IMHO.....
