I'm not sure if I should put this in the rifle area or the legal or the NFA area but here it is.
I just got a Vltor MUR 1A upper, a 14.5 mid length barrel assembly and a Surefire 556k muzzle break. I gave all of this to my gunsmith and he said that barrel and break combo was to short and he won't put it together for me. So I get it home and I test fit it and then measure and it comes out to 16.35 inches. I contact the place where I bought all of the parts and they say it should be long enough too. According to their website, the barrel is 14.5 inches and the muzzle break is 2.49 inches and adds 1.86 inches in length to your barrel.
So my friend that was putting it together for me says he is measuring to the first port in the break and not the end of the break and thats why he thinks it comes up short.
I know the break needs to be attached on there perm to not be an SBR and it will be, just so everything is clear.
What do you guys think?
