zentanker,
The short hand guard rail that you are running makes your barrel look too long. If you had a longer hand guard on your set up, it would look more in proportion. No one is saying you have to have a SBR to be cool, although it does help.... DBAR |

I would be a liar if I said I weren't a little envious of all the great builds you guys have. It's going to take me a few months to catch up, is all. ;) I'm not at all insulted. You guys' observations are completely valid and true. |

I think for me the reason it looks so weird is the added length of the suppressor. But I was just joking around cause I still have three 16" uppers but since I have my lower SBR'd all my future uppers will be shorter. Well except any that I build or buy for hunting. |

I agree, it does. Since I only shoot subs, it would have been a little dishonest to post a picture of it without the can merely for aesthetic considerations. My rifle will be prettier someday, I promise it will. ;) |

Good point, definitely better to post it like you're gonna shoot it than any other way. Still a good looking rifle though. I remember seeing Seekins lower before they even had a website at a local dealer and still like them to this day.

ETA: I only need a BCG, to figure out what I want for a trigger, a B.A.D. A.S.S. or C.A.S.S. (still thinking), muzzle device (thinking about AAC Brakeout, for future suppressor acquisition), and a DD LITE 7.0(shorter barrel) or 9.0(longer barrel). Extra add-ons will come later. |

Both came from ar15hardware.com, JohnnyUSA on here. Both were on sale for $100 when I ordered them. Also their customer service chick is cool as heck, she remembered me ordering the 5.56 when I called to get the 300 even though it was like a month in between, and promptly called back when she missed my call one afternoon. |

16" Barrel with 15" Seekins Rail.
In the next year or so it will be a SBR with Suppressor. So I planned for the future. 9" barrel with 8" suppressor. It will stick out slightly more :D

Turned an unused 16" 556 upper into a Honey Beaver with just a barrel change. Had ADCO cut / thread the 10.5" cut to 7.5".
Using the SDN6 as a hand tight thread on under the VTAC. Listing the 556 barrel tonight and hitting the range tomorrow!

Rest of story ^^^^^ Do want really bad. So I reckon that a honey beaver would be the change in the stock. Bigger tail on a beaver to go with the bigger stock. Just a guess lol.

If I can stop myself from blowing all my money on other gun stuff, I plan to get an 80% ar15 and ar10 variant lower. |
