Maybe with a silencer? What's the benefit?

Quoted:
Finally finished the 9.2" upper. It's replacing my PSA 10.5". I was having a hard time finding the right handguard because of the gas block position on the barrel. I wanted the handguard to cover the gas block but leave the threads exposed for my silencer. I went with a BCM Alpha 8". A 7" was too short, and I didn't want to have to cut down the 9"

It still leaves a little bit of the gas block exposed, but it's close enough.

KAC makes a URX rail that is 8.5" long.

That URX 4 is sweet!! Wish I had the spare cash, it would be perfect.

I haven't had a chance to shoot the 9" yet. Maybe some time next week.

Great to hear the barrel is working out, I have been very interested in picking one up. Almost bought a 14.8 from them last weekend at a gun show but recent bills have curtailed my frivolous spending for a bit.

A few of my buddies and I have the 16 rifle gas and it shoots awesome for all of us. I've been hitting them up for a 11.5-12.5 midlength for a while and they are supposedly dropping them very soon. going to be a great suppressor host SBR setup.

It sucks when life intervenes.

I'm interested to know the max life of these barrels. If it's close to the same as other barrels I think it's a real good deal for a little over $200.

I'll be all over that if/when it happens.

Looks like they told me the truth. It's a 12 inch midlength in either nitride or stainless.

Nitrided 12 inch

Their adjustable gas block looks interesting as well. I have a build in mind but not sure if the gas block idea I have is going to work with the geissele MK4 Federal rail. Might have to ask some folks in the SBR forum or in one of the geissele threads.

Looks good. Time to spend more money.
