To those of you with actual first-hand experience owning and operating SBRs: In the next year, I will purchase my first SBR upper. I am not in a hurry to "just buy something short," and am going to take my time and make the most educated purchase that I can. My hope in starting this thread is that I can go to school on your experience. It may help to think of this as a "If I had it to do over again, I would have done X instead of Y" thread.
Initial parameters guiding my purchase:
- Assume that money is not a limiting factor (however, I am a firm believer that "more expensive" is not necessarily a proxy for "better")
- Intended for use well-inside 100m
- I will use a Battle Comp 2.0
- I will, from time to time, run the gun suppressed
- I need 10" of rail to run a rifle comfortably/effectively
Looking for perspective on:
- Choice of barrel length (I'm leaning toward 11.5" vs. 10.5" to get just a little more barrel out past the gas port)
- Choice of gas-block (Very interested in a Switchblock. Good idea?)
- Choice of rail (with the understanding that whatever barrel length and rail I select will need to be compatible with a suppressor)
- Any complete uppers that are worth an especially hard look given the parameters listed above?
- Anything else that YOU think is significant in a solid SBR build (tell me what I don't know to ask...)
Thanks in advance,
zk
