What other guns would be good SBR candidates? I already have the following SBRs: Thompson, stocked-Glock 34, stocked-M92 PAP, and (soon) a 300 AAC SBR AR (that I may someday get a .458 SOCOM upper for). What I'm looking for is something different. Thanks to the stocked Glock, I'm not much interested in the commonly-SBR'd 9mms (uzis, MP5s, the MPX, etc). No interest in shooting 556 out of an SBR (I have a Tavor anyway, so no need!) or paying $200 to SBR a 22LR. I'm trying to think what other guns would be good candidates? Anyone have any ideas / inspiration?

.357 mag lever action?
Contender in a dozen different calibers? SBS? |

Anyone have any ideas / inspiration? Uncommon? I have been thinking about a 92FS (factory) SBR http://www.hk94.com/hk/topic/28660-factory-beretta-92-short-barrel-rifle/ (left cold due to copyright/watermarks on the images) I have been looking at how to do the conversion since March of this year, with no luck (since the odds of getting a factory sbr are almost 0) |

357 lever action is a contender...but with a tube mag you're killing capacity with every inch you chop off. I've seen some SWEET SBR ranch hand 357s, but not sure that's the route I wanna go.
Not even sure what to think about that bolt action 45 abortion. 
SBS are illegal in my state, unfortunately. I would LOVE to SBR my S12 and a SXS 12ga too. No dice until I move to a free state... PS90 would be fun, but I'm not sure I want a 5.7x28 cal gun.

If you really like your SBR'd 34 (you don't say explicitly, but it sounds like you do), then how about a SBR'd 21 or 41?

PS90...oops..you already listed it above. I'll echo this. Something nice about a 10.4" barrel while still being under 20" OAL. Do a PS90, and a 6" or 12" AR57, and buy an FN Five-seveN...that way you'll have three hosts that share ammo and suppressor(s). I have a 6" AR57 and the eF1 for my PS90 was filed a couple weeks ago. |

A RONI drop-in chassis. Works/feels better than I thought it would, I rolled the dice but was pretty skeptical until I tried it.

Ahh cool. My G22 SBR has me thinking about a 21SF SBR, but it seems like none of the "stock" setups (Israeli stock, Endo stock) are compatible with the SF models, and I don't care for the chassis types. I might just have to modify something, because the normal 21 feels like a brick to me. |

That was my original plan as well, but I could never get mine to run reliably with any extended magazines of any description. It was completely relieble with factory 13rd G21 mags, but any extension/mods at all and it just wouldn't cooperate. Could be an isolated problem, I know a few folks who have them and have no issues with the KRISS mags. |

I really enjoy the Contender. I built this one a decade or so ago...

I know you said no 22, but an SBR'd 22 is a lot of fun. Especially if you have cans, since it's easier to keep it subsonic out of a short barrel

A SBR'd 10/22 in one of those PS90-style shells would be pretty awesome with a suppressor...I just don't really wanna pay $200 for a stamp for such a gun. Don't get me wrong, I love me some range toys...that's just a bit of a stretch.
An AK74 is a good option, but what about the supply of cheap ammo getting pinched off by the feds? |

Get an AK that shoots 5.56. I'm waiting on the stamp for my M85. Here it is mocked up.
