I'm thinking of getting a 14.5" barrel with a Smith brake (threaded & pinned/welded/etc.) for a postban rifle.  Is this brake long enough to bring the barrel out to 16" and are there any other considerations in this being legal for a postban?  If the Smith isn't long enough for this what length would I need to have a barrel chopped and threaded to make a total of 16"?

Sorry for bothering you guys but I couldn't find the answer at Smith Enterprise's site or here.

Thanks,

My suggestion is to call Bushmaster @ 1-800-998-SWAT.  They no longer carry the Smith comp, but one of their reps should know the answer.

bushmaster is selling the phantom flash hider when added makes it 16.1 inches

The Smith brake is not long enough.  Kurt Wala of Kurt's Kustom does make a smith-like brake that is long enough though.  Alternatively he can cut down a 16" barrel and install the Smith brake to make an overall length of 16".

Thanks, Forest.  That's exactly what I wanted to know.
