SBR gone wild

Post by Scott B. »

Just because he could, apparently.

2" barrel. Note that every other round is painted black. Would love to know how he got the gas dialed in for this curiosity.

The question that occurs to me is this....... the primary advantage of a snubbie revolver is its concealability. But a snubbie AR15? Am I missing something? LOL

Put one of those on it to make it even shorter. "Because I could" is sometimes a valid reason.

That Troy stock is a slick looking package, and I'd love to put one on an SBR, but not at that price point.

Why yes...you too can turn your 3,000 fps AR-15 into a subsonic wonder that will singe your eyebrows and vaporize your eardrums with each shot. :shock:

No disrespect, but that thing is totally useless.

Because a "rifle" with a barrel that lowers the efficiency of the cartridge to pistol levels has no practical advantage and several huge disadvantages. This is the equivalent of taking an 18 inch barrel .410 shotgun and making it into a Taurus Judge. Except, unlike the Judge, you have to set up a trust or jump through all the legal hoops and pay a $200 tax stamp to own it.

Now for just a toy, whatever floats your boat. :tiphat:

Just my opinion.

I'd love to see the pattern that thing was producing.

And, I suspect he's got a tax stamp on that lower with a different upper. Just throws that goofy thing on it for excrement and grins.

Be interesting to track down a build story on it just to see what he was thinking, and what they went through to get it to cycle. My googlefu didn't produce any hits though.

I've got a 5.5" barrel on my 22 sbr upper. Even with a suppressor on it, it fits under a 7" Fortis hand guard. Plenty short.

Pfft....if you want a lightweight 556 that's short as heck and does NOT require a tax stamp, here you go:
