Don't cut down your barrel. Buy a good quality 11.5 upper from colt or bushmaster. I have a 11.5 bushmaster upper on a machine gun lower and i have run the ever living shit out of it , i mean this upper would be happier in hell than for me run it for the afternoon. IT HAS NEVER HAD A F--N PROBLEM. 20,000 to 30,000 throught it. beta mags, chinese 120round drums full dumps and it still runs. I hope this helped you make your desision.

You could just get the 5.5" FS removed by someone like ADCO for $56 after the SBR is approved. It's just screwed onto the threaded bbl and blind-pinned.

I contacted Bushmaster about having the FS removed and they discouraged it. They claimed it could dammage my crown, threads, and muzzle. Of course they recommended buying a brand new barrel. Not a big fan of that idea since my barrel only has less than 40 rounds put through it. I guess I would rather work with what I've got, especialy since I can use this one until I get aproval. Does ADCO have a website? I would like to contact them. Thanks for the replies so far.

Buy the 11.5/5.5 and remove the 5.5 when approved. I've had that same Bushmaster set-up since '89. Cut the 5.5" off in "99 myself.
