Some of you might have seen my other thread. I am building my first SBR and have a few questions.

I was going to use a Daniel Defense CHF 12.5" Barrel in 5.56; however, I have decided to do 300 AAC Blackout instead.

Since no one makes a 12.5" barrel with a carbine length gas system I am going to get a 16" and have it cut down and threaded.

I am going to get the AAC barrel.

Where would you send it to get cut down? It doesn't have to be in the Southeast. It is going to take a while to get my Form 1 back so I have plenty of time.

2nd adco. They do very good work.

Does AAC not make a 12" barrel? I thought they made them from 9" to 16"..

It seems that the 12" 300 AAC Blackout barrels I am seeing are pistol length gas systems. Why are they pistol length? Will a 12" with a carbine gas system work? I guess I can always get an adjustable gas block.

They are pistol length to reliably run subsonic ammo without a suppressor.

Will my gun be over gased if I run a pistol length gas tube with a supressor? I plan on running supressed almost all the time.

Also, noveske barrel is actually cheaper than the AAC, I just don't like their silver finish on their barrels. I would like like a carbine length gas system which is why I think I am going to cut down a 16"
