British Special Forces 3rd Gen Integrated Upper Receiver’s from Colt Canada

I need help deciding between the Sig MCX Virtus SBR 5.56mm

OR

a Colt Canada SAS IUR 10.5" AND a complete CC lower w BCG and CH

(both available from Nordic Marksman)

Price is very similar.
 
These list with a 10.5" but when I put it next to my NEA 10.5" CQB it is shorter. Is there a more accurate measurement for the barrel? My NEA also has a DD MK18 RIS rail on it and if I were to try to put the Colt barrel into a flat top upper the barrel wouldn't reach the end of the hand guard. I believe the MK18 is a 10.3" barrel.

Colt Canada doesn't make a 10.5 inch barrel. Assembly 16409C-1 is a 10 inch barrel.
 
Correct.

The barrel length is 10". I assume the flash hider makes up the additional. This is how the uppers have been marketed by Colt Canada and as such, that's what how they are listed.
The very first post on this thread is direct from Colt way back when they were first released.

I would have a whole rack of CC if I could. When i see Colt Canada i will skimp and save anywhere i can to add it to my collection. I wish prices were a bit better but the industry i work in has taught me, it is what it is. i don't know if i want to grab a complete CC lower or a stripped for my build. Right now it's on a Spikes Jack.
