What barrel lenght would you recommend for a SBR project? 10.3 or 11.5? Thanks!

11.5" is generally regarded as being easier to get running reliably.

Also, I was told that 11.5 works better with suppresors.

Might wanna post this in the Class III forum, rather than in an industry forum.

More eyes, more replies.

I happen to agree with the 11.5" plan.

Thank you for the advice! This will be my first SBR project and I am new to this.

Daniel Defense MK18s are 10.3 and I doubt DD has any trouble getting them to run. Proper gas port sizing will get it to run on Wolf and higher powered ammunition.
Stamp collector.

Looking to buy:
-A set of carbine length triangle handguards---old and rough, or new.
-Slickside carrier for a Colt 604 upper. Bolt not necessary.
