I have a 16" Daniel Defense M4v7 (1:7 twist). I was going to get a .300BLK SBR upper to satisfy my SBR dreams (and basically use the 5.56 to proved brass to reload to .300). I was planning to suppress both of them (probably with the same .30 suppressor).
However, I've estimated the timeframe for that to be at least 2 years out (gathering finances, dealing with the backorder crisis from most manufacturers, ATF wait times). Also, putting a ~6" suppressor on my current rifle will make it decidedly long, so was thinking of just trimming it (professionally) and putting a .300BLK option on indefinite hold.
My question is, how will performance be affected if I trim it down to 12 or 14 inches (as much as I can without interfering with the gas block)?
