Stick
Board policy mandates I state that I shoot for BCM. I have also done work for 200 or so manufacturers within the firearm community. I am prior service, a full time LEO, firearm instructor, armorer, TL, martial arts instructor, and all around good guy.
I also shoot and write for various publications. Let me know if you know cool secrets or have toys worthy of an article...

I pin because there are no SBRs in my state and I can discern a handling difference over a 16" + FH. Also, I don't care about the cost or effort of grinding off a FH or buying a new barrel on the small chance I want to make a change.
Ask yourself what are your chances of changing parts and your tolerance for extra work and cost.
Of course, I have a problem building uppers just because I can...

Unless you just really have the new gun fever, shave your FSB and put a long rail on your 6920.
I've owned and shot Colts, KAC, and BCM and I would put a Colt barrel up against a KAC ANY DAY.
It may have been mentioned here but 1.5” of barrel may not seem like a lot but combined with a 13” rail vs 15” rail, it makes a noticeable difference in overall handling. I think a 14.5” barrel/13” rail is the GOAT overall combo.
I have a 16" Colt M4 profile upper and a 14.5 pinned SOCOM profile. The 14.5 just looks and handles slightly better. Maybe it's the M4 profile vs. SOCOM profile, not sure but the 14.5 gets used and the 16" stays home.
My last 2 gun match featured several USPSA style stages with barricades, walls, barrels, etc., close confines and the 14.5 just felt natural in this environment.
