    I think the 13.7"-14" has become one of my favorites. We have a lot wide open spaces out here and it makes for a good all around general purpose rifle. For me it saves a little weight and length over a 16" for when I add the can to the end... or in my case carbon locked my can on and just left it. lol Lots of good reasons to run a similar setup, a few reason to avoid it, but over all a well build gun with quality parts will perform well.

      @@mk18cartel I agree. It doesn't seem like its a big difference, but it does make a noticeable difference in practice. Especially when you get a can, light, and laser on the end. Any way to cut a little weight and length off the end of the rifle is nice. I think if we're talking compromises, which all of this is in one way or another, the 12.5 is also damn good if you don't mind an SBR or Pistol.

    I thought up this long response to this video, but then I thought about how long it would take to type it (Yes, longer than this comment is going to take), and thought again, no one even cares.... Then I remembered that you (MK18 Cartel) did ask our opinions on your setup and what we think of it. So here is an abreviated version of my original thought:
    That build looks and sounds like it is exactly hat you needed it to be to fill all the roles/requirements/expectations you have for that setup and your capabilities. "Do it all" is extremely subjective because it is determined by the needs/wants/expectations of the user.. Let's face it, none of the accessories make the gun shoot better, they make things easier for the shooter, and hopefully that makes them better.

    I’ve got a 13.9 that I built similarly, definitely my favorite rifle.
    For a while it had a vortex UH-1 and magnifier combo but just recently switched to a cheap Nikon 1-6 scope that I had on another rifle.
    I have the CMC trigger in the 13.9 but I think I would prefer my Larue MBT-2S that I run in my 11.5.
    I have a Griffin Recce 5 can on the muzzle, Magpul SL stock and MOE K2 grip, cloud defensive rein 3.0, and magpul MS1 sling. With the mid length gas system it’s super smooth shooting and my only complaint is the optic currently, the Nikon 1-6 isn’t ideal but it does work.

      I'm right there with you. There is def a comfort level with BUIS..however my scope mounts are non QD, so that negates the purpose of buis IMHO.

You can feel the difference in handling compared to a 16". My 2 favorite non-nfa ar15 lengths are 14.5" and 13.7/13.9, I would imagine 13.7 and 13.9 would be about identical in performance.

    When you get NVGs you're gonna change to the top dot with the lpvo or find out quick why more & more dudes are running red dot + qd magnifiers on their GP rifles. You can potentially keep your quick change 45 degree dot if you set it up right.

      My custom mk18 w/ noveske barrel and aimpoint comp M5s shoots the same as my PSA 10.5" sbr w/ holosun 403r. So there's that.

      Right, because a BCM lower receiver manufactured by Anderson is so much stronger and reliable than the same lower stamped with a Pony. Mmmmkay.
