Sorry I know this has been gone over many times but I did a search and really didn't find anything....So, okay I have a Colt 6400C (M4). The barrel WITHOUT the post ban "miculek" brake is 16" as measured from the crown to the closed bolt face. Now I have a Phantom 5C2, just can't decide whether to have the barrel cut down to 14.5" and permanently attach FH, or just thread the 16" and install the FH. I know the ballistics would suffer with the 14.5 but it is of no concern to me ( I don't think 1.5" drastically affects velocity THAT much).
I need your opinions on:
1. Just go the distance with cutting down the bbl to 14.5" and permanently attach FH for "true" M4 look?
2. Leave bbl at 16" and just thread/install FH.
3. pro's and cons about both methods.
4. PICTURES WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL.
hinkThanks a million guys!
