I was thinking carbine would be the best choice, but seeing street prices the carbine is $300 more (at least right now - msrp is higher too). The pistol + stock & 922 parts will come out far cheaper than carbine + barrel. The long hand guard is nice though.

That might end up being true.... perhaps the pistols will come down in price a little, too?
I may look at that path, if I can get one with a 1/2x28 thread pitch barrel, because that'll host my can right off. Get the simple 922r parts... I already want to swap out the pistol grip... other "upgrade" parts may also help with the 922r stuff.
Though I would like the handguard of the carbine were available aftermarket, even if only "eventually". I plan on pretty much exclusively using mine with the can attached, even though I'll take the can off to use on other guns as it is rated for so many calibers.
