    Hey guys,

    I am stoked that you guys are stoked about the idea of a shorter barrel....BUT, please do not call or email us asking for the inside scoop with details about pricing or availability or to be on the list for the first batch. It just kills my day and nothing gets done. I am NOT answering calls or emails on this until it becomes a reality and by then 99.9% of the info will already be in this thread.

    Please be patient, we will post what we know when we know it.
    Cheers,
    Leigh

    It's 28.5" OAL collapsed. So if you want to maintain it being able to collapse, OAL needs to be 26", so min barrel length would be 13.75"

    If you pin the stock, you could go shorter.

    Tuesday folks, Tuesday....

    Also, would there be interest in a 12.5" barrel so it would be legal to hunt with ? Good little truck gun for grouse.....lol
    Wouldn't 13.75" be the shortest you could go w/o pinning the stock and no modification? Factory barrel is 16.25" long, Gun is 28.5" OAL with the stock collapsed. So you could only shorten it down 2.5" before requiring to pin the stock open a bit.

    I guess with a beefier and shorter suppressor shroud that would bring me pretty close to a MP5SD clone

    Could you legally shorten the barrel yourself or would it have to be factory made at whatever length you desire? Disregard overall length for this question tho i thought you couldn't shorten it yourself but maybe I'm wrong?

    Y'all can have the 13" to hunt. I am getting them to cut mine to 9".

    I took the barrel off once already. Dont look too hard.

    The original intent was to make a mp5 look alike with the 9inch barrel, if you want to keep the collapsible stock. Pin it. Unless of course Joe or Leigh wants to make a split with 10 of 9inch and 10 of 13.75 inch

    Nope, shortest you could cut it yourself is 18.5" ( semi auto ) Being that the barrel is 16.25", you cannot cut it anymore. So yes, only way for a shorter barrel is, a new manufactured barrel from scratch. Which is why they are asking.

    OAL does matter, because you could put a 5" barrel on, if you make the stock longer. 13.75 is shortest you can go without making any stock modifications to keep the 26" OAL. I have a fixed stock, so I can go with a shorter barrel. I think many would prefer to keep the stock collapsed for packing purpose hunting.
