    Yeah, it seemed to be fairly common that they'd vary in size. There was a thread about it awhile back but I believe it was either locked or scrubbed all together.

    I thought you already had some 14.5" barrels? If none are a mid-length, you need to get one.

    I'd believe it. A good friend of mine bought a BCM 11.5" barrel, it came in longer and heavier than advertised. I want to say about .25" long and almost .75oz heavier.

    Bimmer, if it is back to the drawing board, but you like the idea of a pinned and welded linear comp, take a look at a 13.7 with the KX5 or Hera Arms linear comp. Both should meet your needs and look cool enough.

    Just out of curiosity, where in Humboldt are you? I was born and raise there until left for college.

    "So, I can get a linear comp, and KVP's new "XL" is huge and should at least direct much of the blast/flash away from me, in the SHTF event that I need to fire the gun indoors"

    Could someone please explain to me how any muzzle device short of a suppressor can reduce noise/pressure pulse more than a bare muzzle?? It's not like the blast can make a U turn and come back to bite you. I promise you if you touch off a rifle in your bedroom it ain't gonna matter if you have a linear comp or a 3Gun brake on it.

    The only benefit of a 12.5" is short length, either suppressed or not. A long ass muzzle device is pointless. Might as well get some extra velocity and powder burn (and thus reduced blast). So either a 14.5 + pinned and welded, or a 16" with swappable muzzle device.

    Might as well go for the 16. I can promise you, if you squeeze one off indoors, it's not fun and your ears will hate you for a week, and it doesn't matter what MD you have on. Even with a can and no ears, still insane loud. Skip the whole 12.5 pinned to 16 and just go with the 16.

    Fwiw, a 12.5" barrel and a socom mini will be under 17" total barrel length, and actually quiet the shot.

    This is what I would do if you want a double stamp gun. And is an awesome setup. Can't get much of a better do all then a 12.5 with a SOCOM Mini.

    If you own a pistol lower, you can legally possess NFA uppers in California.
