I'm sorry BadMan,
But I believe you had "the sickness" before I had a chance to pass it on. I may have nurtured it a little! :tiphat:
Anyway, getting back to your questions. Any SBR is going to give up two things by the nature of the shorter barrel: Terminal performance, and Accuracy.
If you want to make little groupings at 100, 200, or 300 yards plus I would say a SBR is not for you. If you want a rifle that has better handling characteristics for close quarter shooting I would say a SBR is the way to go. Up to 100 yards, unless you are bench shooting with a bi pod, or sand bags, I don't see much difference in accuracy. Terminal performance, any caliber when it leaves the barrel is slowing down and loosing energy. How much? You can look at all the figures and the charts, but ask yourself this. Why do I want a SBR and can I live with the "short" comings of loosing a little performance and accuracy.
I asked this of myself and for what I set this rifle up for my answer was of course: "Yes Way!"
Once you have an NFA registered SBR receiver you can swap what you like onto it, but it's always have a registered receiver.
Food for thought:
"To be, or not to be, that is the question......."
Sorry Dude! Now who's bad? :rofl:
