I keep thinking about building a long-railed AR.....SBRs are a no-no in Michigan so it has to be 16" OAL. However, I've seen many rifles on here that I think just make that....anyone happen to have pics of non-NFAed long railed ARs for inspiration?

I'm thinking something like this for myself:

Noveske lower (got one left over from the last freebie deal) w/SOPMOD or maybe ACS stock
MUR-1A upper with Larue 13.2" rail
Noveske Afghan barrel cut down to ~13.7" (Noveske doesnt seem to offer their 13.7" Infidel barrel separate) with a pinned Piggy to make 16"

I'm not necessarily set on a Noveske barrel...but if I'd have to have a barrel cut down(the only barrel I've seen offered in 13.7" is WOA) I may as well get a Noveske.

Whaddya think?


Thanks in advance for the pics!

Yeah, except I'm thinking short barrel/long rail. I dunno what it is about those rifles but I'm seriously considering building one. I'm basically looking for pics that are roughly what I'm thinking about building: 13.2" rail/ 13.7" barrel with a Piggy or something similar...

14.5" CLE WOA with LaRue 13.2 rail.
Barely enough clearance to mount the suppresssor.







Can't see any reason to use one of those heavy muzzle devices on an over 11.5" barrel.

Interesting....

I don't mind the KX3 on the end of my 10.5" pistol...but it's a very lightweight piece as it is...I built it as a KISS range toy. I haven't put much thought into this build...I just like the looks of those loooooong rails.

I'll have to take a look into building a long-railed 14.5" middy. Thanks for the input guys!!
