    IMHO a "suppressed SBR" is kind of a misnomer. I understand that legally and technically that's what it is, but in terms of size it's really more like a suppressed carbine, since you've gone back up to the same size as a 16" gun. Maybe if someone offered an integrally suppressed 11.5" AR barrel then I might think of that as a "suppressed SBR".

    Obviously you can have both, but for me the added size, weight, complexity, reliability, cost, etc. issues aren't worth the trade off of the smaller gun.

    That's just me, and what works for me.

    rob_s,

    I understand what you're saying 100%. Now that I have an SBR and a suppressor, if i had to pic one, SBR over suppressor any day. But, a quick question, more out of curiosity than anything, lets say there's no NFA. You could walk in and pic up a suppressor at the gun shop, right along side a Ruger 10/22, SBR AR, M240, etc. Not trying to make this a fantasy question, but if the NFA/transfer tax/paper work etc. weren't involved, would you buy a suppressor to have for your SBR. Even though, as I take it, you have discovered that a suppressor doesn't really fill any need for you.

    I have to say I love my M4-2000 with my 10.5" LWRC upper. Fun factor is even better if you have a switch that reads "Auto"

    Asside from that personal opinion, comes in very handy when worrying about the neighbors when trying not to impose on friends land, masking sound signature, etc.

    I really get the most use out of a .22 Pilot on a 10/22 for my kids. Makes its a bit softer and less imposing.
    Glocks are functional tools and nothing else, hence they have no soul - Rob S.

    Just as a side note to the whole "auditory exclusion" issue with shooting inside with a loud carbine...

    Just because a sound did not hurt (or you didn't notice it) doesn't mean you haven't caused, or are in the process of causing, permanent hearing damage.

    For an example, think how there is a distinct lack of pain in the sounds of a leaf blower, lawn mower, weed trimmer, table saw, etc. Then realize that over time all of these have been shown to cause hearing damage.

    I hunt without ear plugs, and I do not hear the kill shot. It doesn't mean my ears are perfectly fine at all.

    I have fired a 14.5" and 20" in enclosed spaces- loud is a pretty good description. I also had the displeasure of being shot with a .45 pistol from about 10 feet away without ear pro.

    Shot by a .45? OUCH

    Hope u made a full recovery. Accidental or engaged in a fight for life? (If I may ask)

    At least youre here, so I assume you won if it was the latter scenario.

    Intentional when I was working bail bonds. Mr. Douche bag wasn't so lucky as he was killed a short time later by the S.O.

    You shouldn't give Douche the respect of giving him the title of "Mr"......

    Dead Turd Douche Bag is more fitting.
