The new SFAR …. Which length and why

[WAYNO]

For such a weapon, I very much appreciate the miniscule but handy 16" barrel. And I remove the brake or flash hider, replaced with a thread protector.

For CQB, or hunting the brush, I love short barrels. Plus, when you get old, a shorter rifle makes it far easier to get out of the truck, in a hurry...

If you don't shoot over a chronograph you will love 16". But an Ar platform robbing gas to make them cycle slows the bullet down to. 20" all day!!

Yes, everything is a trade off. I've also got plenty of rifles with full-length barrels. And less and less are they used. The portability outweighs velocity, for my uses.

No. They are Pmags for AR10 platform

It's gonna be just fine as it is.
