​@@mghegotagun I haven't shot the Galil Ace, but my 300blk is an 8.3 so I can appreciate the compact size. My 12.5 inch 5.56 has been my favorite setup for over 5 years. Between that and my 6.8, it's my go to for hunting. Easily takes game out to 300 yards and still pretty compact as a home defense gun. When you drop to a 10inch or below, you're giving up considerable velocity, and I'm not a fan of the fireball.

@mghegotagun 3 жыл бұрын
@@ElkRiverOffRoad Ah yeah. I spent the night looking at velocity charts and what the 556 needs. It seems like out of an 8.3 inch barrel the 556 even at close range won't have the velocity to do what it was built to do in the target. I believe I'll set my sights on the sig mcx virtus with its out-of-the-box build, piston system, and 11.5 inch barrel. A bit pricey for a first-time buyer, but it looks like the piston system makes it more reliable, and reduces the need for constant maintainance, which sounds great for a newbie, and if shit really hit the fan.

My first SBR was a 7.5”, tons of fun (I still have the upper) but I went with a 12.5” while waiting on my can to clear as I wanted to stay within warranty restrictions, now I’m a big fan of my 12.5 with with a griffin Optimus in the mid length configuration for a patrol rifle/bedside gun. I’ve been tempted to try an 11.5 but I think I’ll just use the 12.5 as an excuse to get a dedicated 5.56 K can and then get an 11.5 later.

I've also tuned it in the buffer tube and changed to a 10.5 govt profile dimpled barrel to save weight.

Food for thought, copper rounds like the Barnes 70 grain TSX will expand out past 200 yards with a SBR. They are designed to expand all the way down to 1800 FPS. While this is great for SBR’s, it’s just a great for a 12.5, 14.5, 16, etc because it adds on about an extra 100+ yards of expansion compared to your typical ammunition while still having excellent penetration. Downside, it’s expensive. Also, this was an excellent video. You hit the nail on the head when you said that they take more effort to shoot well. I once went down a precision SBR rabbit hole and found out what your said. Still accurate, just harder to shoot well.

Speaking of reading. In No Easy Day, the author states ST6 had two uppers, both HK 416's. One10.5 and one 14.5. He states that his 10.5 did most of what was needed and worked for "90 percent" of situations. Obviously it is effective. The UBL raid had 10.5 barrels front and center. It killed all who needed killed, just fine evidently. 2500 FPS is blazing fast btw.

It was created to fit through doorways without getting hung up even with the stock fully extended. It fits through bulkhead doors on ships, fits through standard household doors. If you plan on entering a habitable structure, vessel or offshore platform while armed then it's the right choice. If you intend to be the bush bunny and never enter an enclosed structure again then definitely try to get another 3+ inches of barrel to get that extra energy available.

Thanks for all the great videos! On the length issue, higher velocity equals less time of flight to target, which equals less drop (and more forgiveness for distance estimation), and less time for environmental factors to affect the bullet (i.e. wind). So higher probability of hit with longer barrel (up to a point when the muzzle velocity flattens). Plus all the benefits of terminal ballistics. So longer is better... 😉

I was used to a fixed stock 20 So a 16 inch with adjustable stock feels like cheating But to be honest my favorite is a 20 upper with carbine stock get that maximum effective muzzle velocity!....and bayonet lug I like that option

Honestly 14.5 seems applicable everywhere, still makes that 556 good out to about 300 meters and that’s a good intermediate rifle to me while still being short enough for most cqb applications.

i generally consider sbr's 7.62nato/5.56nato are made for inside 300 yards. there are more practical options for reaching out than the ar platform. but sbr's imho should be between 10-13 inches, regardless of chamber choice. they are designed mainly for cqb, so that is the setup. if you think clearing rooms with a a 16inch barrel is a breeze, you've only cleared sprawling mansions lol.

I built a 7.5" range toy, even with the adjustable gas block and swapping of buffers/buffer springs, it has been a tough gun to deal with. Outside of that I'll take a 12.5" or a full on 16", unless it's suppressed.

I have had a 7.5" build for some time now with no issues at all? Seems to be very handy and stores very well in small bags and other places. Unless you are LEO or Military on-duty, I am seeing for me encounters at 100yds at most with the vast majority at pistol fighting distances or a bit more? Not really mad at anyone more than 100yds away! I'll just leave or sucker them in closer?

I’ve had AR pistols in 10.5”, 11.5”, and a 12.5” and my favorite is 11.5”. As long as it’s correctly gassed, 11.5” was the Goldilocks for me. All were suppressed. For unsuppressed, I like 14.5” with midlength gas system.

@@flawless_Cowboy yes. If the muzzle brake/flash hider is “permanently” affixed. That gives you an overall length of 16” making it a rifle and not a SBR. Most 16” barreled guns are really 17.5” if you add the A2 flash hider. They just pin and weld the thing on. A gunsmith can get it off if you ever wanted but you can’t just spin it off with a wrench like you can on a 16” barrel. Tons of companies sell 14.5” pinned and welded barrels directly from the factory. Mine is a BCM and that’s how it came from them.

@@DTreatz I ended up selling it and have a Criterion Core 12.5 to replace it. For reliability, carbine gas properly ported will be great suppressed and unsuppressed. A mid length gas 12.5 has to be more finely tuned. I could do a A5 and A5H1 buffer both suppressed and unsuppressed with Triarc. It was smooth shooting, but I preferred going with a tried and true gas dwell time over something that is a less recorded in terms of reliable functionality. Simply put, if you can only have one, I’d recommend a carbine gas. Also check SOLGW 12.5 barrel.
