You can always cut the barrel down to the length you want.Its not hard to do,admittedly recrowning will take longer because the one you want is stainless.

I actually thought about it but was hesitant because it is steel. Would you recommend I use a dremmel? Also I am not too familiar with the barrel crown at the end. Does it need to be any specific angle? What tool should I use to re-crown it after I cut?
Thanks!

I like to use a break line tubing cutter when cutting down barrels,but a dremel will work.Just get yourself a metal cutting disc and have at it.Just make sure you cut it straight.For crowning,use a hard cone shaped grinding wheel on your dremel at low speed.Applying oil while grinding the crown will save your stone,and keep you from burning up the barrel.

For ease buy a Full metal body with all the trimmings. Then buy a barrel, RIS stock, maybe buffer tube, barrel hop up unit and gearbox.

And don't get a fagpul body, Get a KA or vltor or something or other.

What really? Why not magpul? I've been eyeing that body for a long time now for my new project! It looks fabulous! What's your reasoning?

He doesn't like Magpul...

 

[topa9495]

Is that it!?!?! Haha! Ok well in that case I am still going to get it.

[akfortyseven]

I'm pretty sure thats it

I admit to haveing magpuls on my mag and an AFG but other than that, No. They are over-rated over-priced pieces of crap with a brand written all over them.

I see where you're coming from and to an extent I do agree but this is an exception as I am trying to stick to a specific design theme and the Magpul body happens to fit it exactly to my plan.
