Yes, it’s definitely important to know what rifle you bought so you can know what parts can fit it. Parts for a .308 will generally not fit a .223 rifle and vice versa, and a .270 is simply impossible to do. Regardless you need a custom barrel, or a PAR specific barrel that omits the gas port normally found on AR pattern rifles.
What you really need to do is do a lot more reading and learning before you attempt anything. You very clearly don’t know much about the rifle.

Sorry to revive this thread, but was wondering how short of a barrel can I install on my PAR, I know handguard is 13" long so I was thinking maybe a 14" in 223 wylde, I have the fixed collapsible stock so id still be over 26" oal.
I have a 9" .300 Blk Barrel installed on my PAR .223 which gives an overall length with a "pinned' folding stock of 29.5". You can cut-down the handguard on the PAR by about 1.5" to accommodate the shorter barrel. Jut be careful, as that is a one-way, one-time cut!

Awesome, thanks for the replies, ill order a new barrel then! Just wanted to be sure with the legality of doing so. Thanks! And btw thats a sweet looking rifle!
Just realize one thing - if the barrel has a gas port you will need to take a gas Block and turn/grind it down in circumference to fit under the p.ump sliding mechanism. It needs to be like a barrel collar over the gas port to block the expanding gasses within the barrel. You will need to install the modified gas block backwards in order to block the port.

Thanks for the input, I'll do this for sure!

I'd be curious what that rig weighs, and what scope is that (so I can minus that an approximate the rifle)?
