A Socom 16 is 37.25” long with a 16-25” barrel. So technically you can cut it to an 8.25” barrel. Not saying it would “look good either”.Can you go shorter than the M1A tanker(16.25" barrel)?
The M14K was 16"? Seems like a lot to do to loose just 1/4".
Seems like that would impact the gas system/operation.A Socom 16 is 37.25” long with a 16-25” barrel. So technically you can cut it to an 8.25” barrel. Not saying it would “look good either”.
14". And, yes, you really had to dig deep to lose those 2".The M14K was 16"? Seems like a lot to do to loose just 1/4".

Does anyone else think that Springfield is missing out on money by not offering more retro rifles? Brownells has gone balls to the wall with everything from prototype (style) AR15s to AR 180 reproductions. Think there’s any room for something as wacky as the CIA’s compact covert commie killer...www.thearmorylife.com
Edit: Looks like the LaFrance M13K as pictured is 13.5". Shorter than the originals.
Applies to all semi-auto centerfire rifles. You can chop a bolt action down as far as you'd like.Adding to the questions re: SBR confusion; is the 29" OAL for ALL sbrs, or much like the .22lr vs. 5.56 does it vary on caliber and/or action? I'd like to SBR a .300BO Ruger American Ranch (or possibly a CZ 600 Trail) and cut the barrel to 8"
