"Just Get an SBR", They Said. "It's Just $200," They Said

I was in a similar position at one point last year. I was checking out Thordsen's pistol stocks and thought it may be a shortcut to a better CQ weapon, so I bought one. I even is talked it on an A5 tube to get a little distance from the upper receiver. But after training with it I decided that if I was going to build a CQ weapon, and have it as part of my SHTF kit, then I needed to build the lower in the same fashion as my other AR's. I'm a big believer in redundancy and duplication. Duplication in the sense that I want to have all the same folding sights. I want my SBRs to have the same fixed sights. Within reason I want my AR's to have the same trigger, same rail, I want my AR's to have the same grip so that if I'm grabbing my 14.5" I'm not really caring that it's not my 12". Because my brain has been trained on the same all that stuff I just mentioned. Muscle memory, muscle memory, muscle memory. So I decided to get busy with all the paperwork. I did all my NFA work before the rule change came into effect so I do have a Trust and I e-filed my forms for SBRs and a can.
I do believe in the end you will be more satisfied with the SBR - from a shooting experience, deploying it as a SD or CQ weapon and especially if you decide to get a can. So well done! Didn't mean to write a novella. Lol
