I currently have an AR15 with a dedicated .22LR upper and thinking about turning it into a suppressed short barrel set up. I've seen some with 12" free float quad rails that look really nice. I talked to a local shop and they said that they can cut down and re-thread the barrel and make me a suppressor for $350 which seems fairly reasonable.(plus the $400 in tax stamps of course). I have a few questions tho:
Here is a pic of my current set up
- current wait times to get the paper work back? 6 months ish?
- I currently have my AR set up on an ATI Omni lower and I'm thinking I should probably just go ahead and get a forged lower to register as an SBR? Thoughts?
- what length is good for a build with a 12" quad rail? I've heard of people doing 7.5" and 10" barrels. does the extra barrel length from the 10" probide any benefit? I'll appreciate pics of both set ups that anyone has.
- Can someone give me links to the correct forms for registering an SBR and getting a suppressor and give me some advice on filling them out?
