Looks good.

You have a can for it?


Nope, not yet. Planning on it though. Next thing will be an optic, probably a suppressor next year.




Cool. I'm considering a Surefire or Surefire mini for mine. A2 flash hider is not pinned and welded on my 11.5" BCM. So that's a good thing.

Got an optic and mount on the way, hope to have mine screwed together in time to break the barrel in and see what it will do before really cold weather gets here.

If you get yours set up with a can this winter, start a thread or drop me a PM and let me know how it does. It is looking like next year before a suppressor will be possible for me.

I could take the A2 off my BCM now, put a 3-prong SiCo flash hider on it, and run my SiCo Omega or Hybrid. I'm sure they'd run okay because they run just fine on everything else I put them on. But, they're a little big for a pistol. Thinking if I do it at all, I'll hold out for a Surefire 5.56 or Surefire 5.56 mini. Unfortunately, they're pretty proud of those.


What optic did you end up choosing?

Putting an Athlon Midas BTR 1-6 on mine, in an Aero mount to cut down on weight. Bad eyesight plus astigmatism rules out most other options for me.

So can someone run down the legalities of a pistol now since the honey badger deal? I’m wondering about a 14.5” barrel and a regular carbine receiver extension. May use a brace or just a foam tube over it. Any OAL negate it as a pistol?

Not sure how accurate this is, but for whatever it's worth here is an article on pistol braces. If this is halfway accurate, it sounds like length of pull may be what the ATF is zoning in on.

This outfit (know nothing about them) claims to have Faxon 11.5 barrels in stock as of right now. Looks like about 135 shipped, if anyone is still looking for a short barrel.
