Went with the Magpul MOE fixed. Absolutely love it. Next to my Marlin 60 .22 for size comparison.

Good choice. I am a fixed stock AR guy myself.

OBTW 6.8 is an awesome choice - let us know how it shoots.

And I'll post a range report as soon as I get a chance to head out. I'm finishing the assembly tomorrow. 6.8 is a pretty incredible round, I'm looking forward to it.

You need a collapsible stock for HD/entry weapon. Fixed stocks can be unwieldy.

Fixed stocks on a SBR aren't unwieldy

No, they are not, but on 18" barrels, they can be.

Who puts fixed stocks on SBRs :sarcasm:

?

EDIT:

..besides HK

I use a couple shotguns and am purchasing a pistol for HD eventually.

I went with a 16" barrel, the 6.8 ballistics are optimized at 16".

Agreed. But I feel they would be for HD.

Hmm - that sounds like a great excuse for me to get a Colt AR6721. :innocent0
