I hate it when you guys are right, a few months ago I bought a 14.5" LW Middy upper to use as a suppressor host. Most of you all (mainly IG) told me to just wait until I was in a free state and SBR it and I told you to pound sand.
Well here I am, sold my 14.5" at a loss buying an 11.5". This will be a range toy, not a duty setup or anything. It will be suppressed 100% of the time and shoot no further than 200 yards. This will be run hard.
So here are some questions
1. Is the LW profile useful on an 11.5" upper? Its only 11.5". A gov't profile can't weigh too much, right? This won't be doing mag dumps on full auto but it will have alot of rapid, semi auto suppressed firing.
2. This will wear an AAC Brake and M4-2000. Personally I am fine with a standard barrel, but in regards to what I said above would a BFH be beneficial at all?
3. Can I posess an 11.5" upper if I have it "mated" to a stripped lower? Does it have to have a "pistol" buffer tube on it to be a "pistol"? What about a complete lower with no stock body/buffer tube?
4. I chose 11.5" because it combines the best in terms of length (If I'm paying $200 for a tax stamp I am going to go short) with reliability (as BCM said, it increases the overall length of the weapon only 4% while drastically increasing dwell time). However that doesn't mean other lengths are necessarily bad. Would 10.5" be better? 12.5"? A 10.5" bbl with the M4-2000 would equate to about a 17" overall.
Thanks guys.
