I just bought a LWRC M6G 5.56 14.7". However, the flash hider is pinned and welded on to make the barrel length exactly 16". I want to Form 1 it and turn it into an SBR. I'm debating on length. What got me going was that I see on LWRC's website (and others) they charge about the same price for a rifle as for a new upper!!! The rifle is new and hasn't been fired, yet. I was thinking about having LWRC either swap barrels out of my upper or even asking to trade the whole upper in for one with a shorter barrel.

PS - I was thinking of either 12.7" or even 10" barrel lengths. I would be semi-happy with a pinned flash hider except that I want to add a suppressor.

Anyone ever deal with LWRC on switching out barrels or swapping uppers?
