    Any length with a pinned and welded flash hider is also legal as long as it is 16" from the bolt face to the end of the flash hider.

    Considering another AR build or possibly sell my LWRC M6A2 Upper to do this...Not sure if I want to SBR or 14.5 pinned. Ive been browsing different options, as much fun as a SBR might be not sure if its worth the tax stamp and noise. I travel a lot and its just another thing to do to travel with a gun.

    Anyway, found a pic of this and thought it was interesting...cant tell on the barrel length though. minus the optics any thoughts on the specs?

    I love my SBR, I would at least SBR a lower just to have, you can use multiple short uppers with one registered lower.

    Alright guys, question... before hand yes I know eotech and aim point are the best but I don't want to send $500+. So the question, Holosun 403g, Bushnell TRS25, or PA micro?

    agreed

    looks like they sold either a 16" or a 10.5"
    I would guess it was the 10.5" but I really dunno

    If you travel alot then yes having a SBR can be a pain in ass. If you go same place repeatedly its not so bad cuz the same form 5320.20 can be good for 1 year.

    What are you primary using the rifle for? I have used the PA sight and the Bushnell and they are both awesome for the money. If you beat on your rifle alot and/or are using it for HD , then just save up and buy an aimpoint(or similar).
    A RDS is not something you want to fail when you really need it.

    I know this optic isn't on your list but I put this optic on mine. I love it. At least take a look at it, and I wanna think I spent about $190 on it. Lucid Optics HD7 Gen 3[​IMG]

    Yeah I get the HD pov when buying and building anything, I just have more than one rifle and don't want to drop $400 on a RDS for each.

    Will take a look at this, thanks!

    I completely understand. Not all my rifles have/had high dollar sights. My fun guns have all have rds/scopes under $150 or were usually purchased used .
    The PA micro worked flawless for me. I had zero issues with it and would buy it again.

    Decent bipods that don't cost an arm and a leg for my 300 BO? And go!

    Define "an arm and a leg". Harris makes good bipods that wont break the bank (around 80-120 depending on model). I have two and they are solid. Ive also used a cheaper like 30 buck Champion brand (i think) Chinese knockoff of the Harris and it was ok. Not as good as the Harris though.

    Now if you want to spend money Atlas would get my next vote. They are around 200+ bucks though.

    $200 plus is an arm and a leg haha but I have heard good things about atlas can't justify spending it though. I'll look into the Harris' though

    It's a 300BO, no need for an expensive bipod. A Champion or similar Harris knockoff will get the job done.
