I went 6" and didn't modify anything besides the barrel, and I chopped down the handguard.

If you are going to SBR a $300 rifle. why not go 4.5" barrel so you can use standard velocity ammo?

It will be a little more reliable this way as well with the hotter ammo. Mine has run flawless. You will need to cut the hand guard an inch or two. I band saw makes it easy, you could do it by hand as well. |

+1.
I get 1060fps out of my 4.5" AR-22 barrel using CCI 40gn Blazer. 4.5" is definitely the sweet spot of .22 to stay subsonic. |

Thanks for the recommendations but not really interested in a 4.5". So, will I need to mod the handguard or bolt for an 8" barrel?

Nothing. Should run fine and the supressor should clear the handguard with a couple of inches to spare. You will be relegated to sub sonic ammo to stay quiet though. I might do another 15-22 SBR and do the same as you, especially the new Mlok version which isn't really set up to cut the hanguard.
