    Colt 11.5 HRT Barrel + what else?

    So I’m looking for an upper for my first SBR, and I’m thinking about picking up one of these HRT barrels from Grant. I wish it came at least as a barreled upper, but whatevs.

    What are everyone’s suggestions for a receiver, bcg, and rail? I’m probably going to shave the fsb to fit under whatever handguard is utilized.

    If there’s a completely different route y’all think I should go, I’m open to suggestions.

    Thanks.

    For rails there are A LOT of quality options but my choice would be Centurion or Geissele. Personally I would use a Colt BCG and upper receiver.

    Phixion, any pics of your completed upper? Have you had a chance to shoot it yet? If so, thoughts?

    Shark Arms will have the complete upper, including BCG, rear sight, CH, and 11.5” barrel, all Colt, for $550 if you are patient.

    No, I haven't had a chance to take it out; I just put it together the other day with some parts I already had.

    I'm waiting on a different brace and I'll probably change the light setup, but this is how it sits for now.

    ~ 8lbs. 5.8oz. as pictured; full magazine.

    And wait the better part of a year to get it out of jail? I lack the patience.

    My experience is that approval takes about the same amount of time for Form 1's and Form 4's. Factory SBR's are sellable. It's very difficult to sell a SBR that you've Form 1'd yourself.
