Not sure which section to throw this in (Sorry mods)
My questioning is this.
I plan to buy a set up from PSA using a SB braced stock and a upper of at least 8.5" barrel.
I hear that going under 10" makes 5.56 suffer but I am honestly not looking for long range engagement but more of a bugout build that'll at least hit consistently at 150 meters between irons/optic.
What I am asking is basically how reliable is a 8.5" barrel and a 5.56 generally going to perform? I know they are louder from what I hear but I am wondering if its that drastic of a drop off for the platform considering I plan to keep it mostly as close to semi intermediate build anyway intentionally.
Example of my rough build idea:
upper: PSA 8.5" Pistol-length 5.56 NATO 1/7 Nitride 7" Lightweight M-Lok Upper w/o BCG or CH - 516447044
lower: PSA AR15 Complete MOE EPT SBA3 Lower - 5165448150
