Cutting the 11.5" down or adding a 10.5" upper? If adding, sure why not. If you are going to cut down the 11.5" I say just leave it as is, one inch isn't going to make it much shorter. But the 11.5" has significantly more dwell time than 10.5"

I went the other way and have 2 11.5" guns and a 12.5" gun. The inch saved going to a 10.5" just isn't worth the extra blast and loss of dwell time.

If you want to go shorter I would get a 7.5" barrel upper for blasting away for fun.

I've got an 11.5 and just recently picked up a 12".
Shot 8.5's and 10.5's - to be honest IMO the 11.5 is the shortest I'd go for enjoyable shooting. Concussion off a 10.5 can be brutal. |

I've got an 11.5 BCM and a DD MK18. Both are great to shoot, and I haven't noticed any excessive blast/concussion from the DD. I say find a 10.5.

I've had 3 builds that were 10.5" and the only ttgey sucked to shoot was with a phantom flash hider. Standard A2 and DD hider were fine.

The 2 10.5 I have with A2 hiders are not bad. The uppers are the PSA CHF/FN barrels. I was awaiting the blast of doom but it was mellow, even at the indoor range.

Had an 11.5 for a long time, but my newest 556 setup is a 12.

Love my 10.3" mk18, great little light weight and reliable rifle.
