This is an editorial discussion on selecting between a 16" barrel vs a 14.5" barrel with pinned and welded muzzle device. The purpose of this discussion is based primarily in relation to personal or custom rifle builds.
I also discuss the reasons why it is necessary to purchase high quality rifles from reputable companies.
In short, here is the point of the video:
-If you are building, choose a 16" barrel.
-If you want a 14.5" pinned/welded barrel setup, buy a built upper from a reputable manufacturer
-If you want an SBR type rifle, get a legitimate SBR. A pinned/welded 14.5 is not an SBR substitute.
