AR cut down

[Shrapnel762]

I'm kicking around the idea of shortening my M4 profile barrel to 10.5". Anyone around the pee dee here and what kind of prices

I guess you know that then it has to have the stamp because it is a SBR....right...

I have had a couple of 10" uppers. I have a 5" flash hider. With it welded on, you are legal...

roger on the SBR. been waiting for tax return to fund it

 

[fordnut]

I think if you get hold of Silent Bob at Upstate, he could do your job real nicely...or, PM me if you want to ship it here and I can get it cut...

I also have the 5" flash hider, still...you can be legal with it...

Once again my SBR build is on hold. My dog tore ligaments in both his knees. I could buy a used vehicle for what this is costing.

i know your pain.

i was DROOLING over that Ruger AR in the classifieds, even sent him a few emails

took 2 dogs & cat to the Vet, $609 later....i canx my desire for the AR :roll:

Sorry to hear about your dog.
My female Dobie just cost me almost $2000 in vet bills.
For both legs I bet you are looking at somewhere between that and half again more.

I think tht yo are nuts. a .22lr rd to the back of the head costs 4c, and maybe an hour of digging time. Money must come to yo umuch too easily.

Ouch. After 45+ years of living, have you never had a dog/cat/animal that you had considerable compassion on?

To get this thread back on topic:

Why do you want to cut a barrel instead of buying a shorter one? Can you not find a shorter barrel that meets whatever personal requirements you have? For me personally, AR's are too dang expensive to be cuttin' on'em like that....

 

[Shrapnel762]

It's just the route I've chosen to go. Unless someone wants to trade a 14.5 5.56 for a 10.5 carbine length gas in 300 blk straight up........ "crickets"

 

[Clicker]

I doubt you'd like my 14.5" barrel, she looks kinda rough on the outside.

 

[Tigerstripe]

wait. are you trading 223 for blackout or trading 300 blackout for 10.5 223.

if you want a 10.5 300 blackout, unless you have one to cut your best route would probably be a new upper.

 

[fordnut]

I do have a 16" .223 barrel that I would trade for your .300 Blackout...If that would help you. It is a new- never fired barrel...

I think I might have confused yall. I have a BCM M4 14.5 5.56 upper thats got 20 or less rounds thru it. I'm looking to turn it into a 10.5 5.56 length barrel upper. I'm happy with the upper, and i know I'd take a loss selling it and buying a new one with a shorter barrel so I figured I would just cut the barrel I have. I also want to keep it light and most of the short barrels are heavy profile.

Saying I'd trade it for a 300blk was lighthearted cause I don't know of anyone looking to trade one for a 5.56 upper.
