Whats better

But then in another thread you indicate that you would like to use a Norc. to make up a 18.5" Socom at one of Hungry's clinics.

True. The idea behind this is that I will never spend a penny on a restricted long gun that I could not hunt with. Did sell my AR-15 when it became restricted because I could not hunt marmots or coyotes with it anymore.The SOCOM is 16" and the Scout 18" so they are restricted.
