I picked up one of these yesterday. I went with the carbine, because I likely wouldn't shoot it much at all without a stock.
My intent is to file a Form 1 on it and SBR it, but I overlooked something in my thinking. I will likely mostly shoot it suppressed, but I don't want to end up with an sbr that MUST be suppressed.
If the shortest we can have the barrel chopped to work with the carbine hand guard is about 12", won't that make it hard to keep 9mm subsonic? I reload 9mm and I am not scared of loading up subsonic just for the gun, but now I am thinking that I will eventually have to have the barrel cut back and switch to a shorter hand guard? Looks like HB industries may have some options, but they are out of stock. Hopefully more options and solutions become available. I am sure I have several months minimum between now and when my form 1 comes back.
Anybody thought more about this?
