I've read quite a bit on NFA items, as far as whats what, requirements and proceedures for owning such items, laws, price range, etc, and I was just wondering first off, whats the real point in getting a shorter barrel? I know that one reason would be to buy an MP5 clone, as MP5's have a fairly short barrel (much less than 16") but for say, an AR-15 for example which normally comes with atleast a 16" barrel, what would be the point in spending the money on the new barrel, plus the $200 tax stamp and waiting for the background check to go through just to install a 14.5" barrel on it? In this case, is it more of just a "now my AR-15 is THAT much cooler and closer to looking like an M4" factor, or is there a real benefit to it? I would definately like to have a 14.5" M4 barrel on my AR-15, but hey, I'd also like to make it 3 round burst too. The former doesnt really seem practical for the money it would cost, just to shorten the barrel a couple inches, if that, and the latter is pretty illegal, and I really dont want to spend the next 10 years in prison.
Also, Im kind of itching to buy my first NFA item, and I was wondering, what would be a better buy for my AR-15? A suppressor, or a 14.5" barrel? This seems like a no brainer, but who knows. Also, is there a website that I can go to for products like these?
