Because if you’re going to go SBR, you might as well go as short as possible. Ideally, I would prefer to swap out the adjustable stock buffer tube for a LAW Tactical folding stock, though. Even with the short barrel, the gun is perfectly balanced and holds well. The machining is perfect, everything lines up and fits like a glove.

It also had a few after-market add-ons including a B5 Systems Grip Stop (buy one, they’re great) and an Aimpoint Micro T-1 sight, on a very nice Fortis Manufacturing mount. Other than the shorter barrel, everything else is identical to the full-size carbine model. The test model I got in featured a 10.5” barreled upper (which will be available for purchase also).

And while all the rest of that is true, the. It hasn’t really been around that long (I’m older than I appear). Ok, so maybe I haven’t wanted it since I was a kid.
