rifle length with supressor

(1/3) > >>

shooter:
Im thinking about building a AR, with a attached suppressor,

    Can I use a short barrel. maybe 10 1/2 just as a example, and permantly weld the tube to the barrel, can I do this with just the suppressor stamp? since the can will basically become part of the barrel making it 16 inches long?   

    this is a ways of. but I been thinking about it a lot

m0par:
Yes. You can do it that way.

FWIW, I'd suggest SBR'ing a lower since you're talking AR though.

Less hassle (but more expensive) than welding.
Cleaning and/or maintenance may be easier.
Not limited to handguards that will be fat enough to go over the can. (na if you're using a 2-piece handguard)
Can move the suppressor to different hosts/barrels.
Can use the lower for multiple SBR uppers.
etc.

shooter:
 I was going to build my own suppressor, welding is no problem either, was going to make it so the rear cap was welded to the tube, the front cap would unscrew and allow me to pull the guts out the front for cleaning. planned on standard 2 piece handguards ,  as far as different weapons, Ill just  make more,. they are only $200 each for a stamp. making them is almost free. I have a very large pile of project steel,

Hardwood83:
I would recommend the SBR route too, but appears you have it planned out. Keep us updated on your project. Sounds interesting.

m0par:
It will be cool either way. SBR would just be a little cooler, IMO.

To throw out another pro-SBR factor... Just a bit too much, or uneven, heat during welding could potentially ruin the accuracy of a barrel. I'd think blind-pin-and-weld or high-temp solder would be a better option if you are dead set against an SBR stamp.
