looking to build a SBR that will be suppressed. Any ideas on a good barrel length and manufacturer? Looking at 10.5 or a 12.5 in 556 Look in to the suppressor you want first. I think some of them have restrictions on the warranty on how short the barrel can be. As far as barrel length goes, I landed on 11.5" after reading here. I went with Ballistic Advantage. I believe Faxon has a short barrel that is designed for suppressor use, though. I don't have a suppressor, so I went with BA. I would not hesitate to buy a Faxon barrel. |

Rugged Surge - 7" SilencerCo Saker - 7" SilencerCo Omega - 10" AAC M4-2000 - 10" And the list goes on. Most other manufacturers vary between 10" and 12" For the barrel I'd be looking into features rather than brand. Melonite, Chrome-lined, etc. Any cheap manufacturer can tell you anything they want. I like companies with strong customer support and good reviews. |
