So i still havent purchased an upper for my AR build. I was looking at the 10.5 inch and 12 inch barreled upper and was wondering what everyone's opinion is on performance..

Bump. Looking for input. And the longest range I would be shooting is roughly 200 yards.

Would weigh less. I am sure it would still be plenty accurate at 200 yards.

I'm not a lot of help, but based on a little research, it looks like the 12 would be better. At the end of the day, you're trading velocity for compactness.
This was a helpful thread I found...

Military issue AR's are 14.5" (with a mid length gas system if I recall) if that tells you anything.

do you have a tax stamp for it yet? if not you can always build it into a pistol first using the sig brace.... I like the 10.5" barrels for an sbr, for my pistols i use 7.5" barrels... below is a 7.5" pistol

look up ballistic charts. 223 is perfect at 20" and was designed for that legnth. i wouldnt dive into the SBR realm unless you really need a compact gun.

I think I'm going to go with a 16 inch setup to save the headache and wallet pain of getting a tax stamp plus an upper

So my buddy just ordered a M&P 15 TS, its a 14.5" with a welded on flash hider to make it 16.5
Its a nice little gun out of the box.

I already built my lower. I plan to get this upper and then upgrade to a better bcg. Then upgrade my stock trigger to a nicer one.

Nice price! ... that quad rail looks heavy as fcuk tho.
I have a CMC trigger in mine. Flat trigger face, I think its a 4lb break. I like it for the money. The gissiele (sp) triggers look nice but thats stupid money.

Ya I was looking at the cmc gear. Looks really nice. I'm a huge fan of flat triggers.
If it is too heavy I can always upgrade it I wish they listed an overall weight so I could compare.

300 is great for supression, but as a std, it's expensive, and sometimes hard to tune in the gas system... any of mine that are not supressed i use 223 wylde barrels.... i do have 1 i'll be going back to 300 (i've built lots of 300s) but it will be a dedicated supressed pistol.

Never understood short barrels with 5.56", it losses so much. Change the caliber and its a different story.

way cheaper to shoot, still will do the job, and ammo is easy to find.... 300 is expensive and hard as heck to find i build all my sbr's into 556, but when I go supressed I plan to make a dedicated 300 so it will be a tune once and done kinda deal

300 hard to find? poppycock.
I can walk into an Academy and get it sub or super.
or load it - much cheaper that way anyway.
