Wazzer Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 What you class as short barrel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryh Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 H87 Why the short barrel (also asking what is 'short'?). I have an 18" barreled BAR15 in 22rf which shoots well, the barrel length is to clone the .223/5.56 of tbe same make. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunter87 Posted April 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 I want something different I am thinking along the lines of a 12 inch barrel on a dedicated ar15 platform and adding a moderator. my idea of a short barrel is 12 inches my sako p942 has a 15 inch barrel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggy Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 I had a play with the 12 inch Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22 from Suffolk Rifles at the British Shooting Show. It was certainly handy, but my natural grip was very close to the muzzle, which I have to say would make me rather nervous. I suppose that you could make yourself feel a bit more comfortable by using some form of hand stop or fore grip and of course a moderator would help a bit too.

MrCetrizine Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 My .300 Blackout AR is 12 inches with a mod on the end. It's a lovely thing to shoot off hand, just the right balance. That being said, once I get bored with Blackout I'm going to have it rebarreled in .223 at 18-20 inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWShooter Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Looks good but from what I have seen online they seem to be a pain to clean How many people clean .22lr`s ? , what appealed to me is its compact so easy to use out of the cab window plus its got a quad rail so easy to mount NV and IR ,all metal receiver as well unlike to plastic S&W.

Nothing wrong with that per se, but don't assume that a Umarex is the same as a high quality forging on a real AR15. They are also a pain to strip and clean, unlike the S&W which is a doddle. All .22s semis get filthy and clag up eventually, so this is an important consideration. Talk to mini rifle shooters, who put a lot of rounds down range and they will all tell you that the S&W rifles are much more reliable than the Umarex guns. .22 conversions of real AR15s are also very nice, but are much more expensive than a 15-22 and need 'fettling' in order to run reliably.
