AR Thread

I chopped a 16 inch daniel defence carbine barrel down to 12 inchs or what ever 765mm total length is for an ar
I had one fail to hold back early on, which could have been anything as It hasnt happened again,

very happy with the end product, Id be careful with the 10.5inch if you wanted to suppress it as it may have the muzzle break pinned on to be legal length, and when you remove it, the rifle becomes a pistol (as soon as it falls under the 762mm mark)

Thanks for replays.
Current set up is a bull barrel 16" with (i think) a mid carbine length system. Am now thinking about 12" as it would reach the minimum length with my stock set up. Have thought about having my current barrel cut. Two things putting me off this is that; 1 i have an over barrel suppressor already on the rifle and if the barrel was cut down then it would not fit and would be hard to sell.
Second point is something you guys would probably know better than me. I heard last night at the range that cutting cromed lined barrels can wreck them and is not as good as a purpose built short barrel. If you guys could let me know that would be great.
