    Will a 15" NSR on a 16" upper interfere with a suppressor?

    Has anyone had issues with a 15" NSR on a 16" upper interfering with a suppressor? I'm deciding between the 13.5" and the 15" NSR and the weight difference is so small that I might get the 15" for flexibility, but I intend to get a suppressor (probably AAC 762-SDN-6 or Saker 762) and would rather avoid an issue then.

    Other than looks and six-tenths of an ounce, are there any other pros/cons I should be considering?

    And if I'm fussing too much over this, telling me to simmer down is okay, too

    a google search of 15" Nsr on 16" barrel, shows a bunch of pictures. It appears that it would work fine

    Yeah, I've done that very Google search, and I've browsed all over the forums here. I agree that it looks like there wouldn't be a problem, but I was hoping someone here with first-hand knowledge could say with more certainty. It's hard to measure how far a silencer overhangs a barrel based on internet photos of rails and muzzle devices without silencers

    The noveske kx5 fits under the hand guard. You could check the diameter of the kx5 to the silencer you would want to use

    Now that's a clever idea! Thanks, madisonsfinest. I looked it up and the KX5 is 1.2" in diameter, but the silencers I'm interested in (AAC 762-SDN-6, Silencerco Saker) are 1.5" in diameter.

    I think I'll ask Noveske if they've heard of any problems.

    I'll do a mock up later today, I happen to have a 762 SDN-6 and 15" NSR.

    It'll clear for sure. I'm actually going to eventually replace the BC on my 16" with another 51T mount.

    Koshin- Thank you for checking this for me, and for including photos! Good to know a flashlight will clear a silencer, too. Chris Quigley from Noveske got back to me right after you replied saying they haven't heard of any clearance problems with non-reflex silencers, either.

    Also, are you using the TRX/NSR sling stud/bipod mount for your Harris bipod?

    Yep. Works very well.
