Barrel Length Question

[Grimpala]

Say I wanted to run a 9" barrel on an AR, but run it as a rifle. Could I permanently attach a piece of 1.5" tubing/pipe to the end of the barrel to bring it to 16"?

I'm wanting a suppressor, but that isn't in the budget for FY16, I've got most all the parts needed to put together another AR, just short the barrel and a stock.

I figured I'd buy the barrel once instead of buying a shorter one later for the suppressor(or having a longer one cut and threaded)

Any opinions...

below is the basis for my question


I would mount something like this, only 7 inches long.

You can permanently mount a 7" flash hider on your barrel or permanently weld a 7" long suppressor and not have to register it as an sbr. But we're talking permanent like welded etc. your call.

Run a sig brace/shockwave untill you can SBR it

[LANTIRN]

9" barrel + 1.5" tube = 10.5" unless math changed recently? Anyway I second the sig brace.

Just register the receiver as an sbr.

I need to break down and sbr the lower for my 300BO.

If you want a Sig brace PM me your address and I will send you one for free.

I should have specified that the 1.5" dimension was the diameter of the tubing, not the length.

Careful Randy Weaver. Lol

Just build as a pistol and never shoulder it or install foregrip. Then do paperwork when funding arrives and voilà , no prison time.

That's odd, I know I typed one up.

yes, you can. But it has to be attached per the "permanent" ATF specs

just dont put any threading on the extension, as that would constitute intent for a silencer
