I've wanted an SBR since I first got into AR's 10 years ago. I've never had one. I currently have an all Daniel Defense rifle that sports a 16" LW midlength upper. It's a great rifle. For HD, though, shorter and lighter would be nicer. (this is really the driving force behind this thought) My dealer has a DD MK18 upper for $950. DD will Form 4 the lower to an SBR if I send it back with the upper when I purchase it.
What are your thoughts on keeping the 16" upper in the safe just to have for out of state classes, etc, but keeping the gun in SBR config. 99% of the time. I'd rob my T1, KAC sights, light, and handstop off the 16" as well.
I don't really shoot the AR that much due to lack of a local range beyond 25 yds and cost of ammo. Most of my shooting is done with rimfires and shotguns(Benelli M1 @ the clays range).
Does anyone else do the multiple upper thing? PITA or a reasonable compromise? FWIW, Cost is really the driving factor. I simply cannot afford to have 2 rifles setup; especially when 1 would just sit all the time.
Thanks!
ETA: Here's what the rifle looks like now. Just take those accessories (minus the magnifier) and slap them on the MK18 upper.
