I’m looking to build a MK18 style SBR and I don’t care about staying true to the original specs I just like the general setup.
I’m wondering what you folks prefer in terms of length for 5.56 SBR; 10.5, 11.5, or 12.5?
I’m not a fan of .300BLK although Im not closed off to it. I will probably get one at least 10.5” or shorter in the distant future so for this purpose I’m looking at strictly a 5.56
I would be putting some type of break or flash hider, undecided, and a Surefire warden on it first. Later on I’m hopefully putting a can on it but that is less certain so I would like something that’s nice to shoot in the meanwhile.
Everything I read seems to say the 11.5/12.5 does everything a 10.5 can but better. I’m sure it does but there’s a big group of people that say 10.5 is the preferred setup.
Anybody have something like this that I could shoot and try out before I invest? I’ve never shot shorter than 14.5 so I don’t know what to expect really besides what I’ve researched. Willing to provide ammo or pay of course if my ammo isn’t the correct type. I’m in Mass.
