[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 2828291, member: 1132"] I'm adamantly opposed to short barrels with unnecessarily long muzzle devices perm'd to avoid SBR'ing a rifle. The velocity loss is not offset by any real benefit. If you want a rifle that's as compact as possible, but with either flash reduction or compensation, then cut to 14.5", then perm attach an effective brake or comp. FWIW, neither .223 or .308 is best for maxing out the advantage of this type of setup. You'd be better off with a 6.8 SPCII, .300BLK or 7.62X39 in this configuration. The flash and concussion from a sub 16" barrel will be a lot less and you'll lose less velocity per inch of barrel reduction in those calibers. [/QUOTE]
