[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Stupid question inside on barrel length....plz help.

Posted: 7/19/2008 6:01:02 PM EDT

If I have a 5.5" flash hider on a 10.5" barrel does that give me an overall length of 16"

Sorry...I know that sounds like such a stupid question but I know one threads into the other and wasnt sure if that would shorten it.

Thanks...and if this was a stupid question please go easy on me.

Yep.

And always go a little bit longer than you need to, to be safe.

No, It will give you a 15.5 inch barrel.

Remember you have to measure to the bolt face; a detail that poor bastard at Ruby Ridge overlooked.
