Just curious, has anyone ever went that route? Instead of SBRing any UR they just threaded the end of the 16" barrel and added a comp or FH? Is there even enough meat on the bones to do so on the 545 or 223 ones?

Don't know looking at mine I question if it is doable, but need to take it into my smith soon since I am ready to put in my paperwork now.

I think it would look kinda weird with a uncut barrel threaded at the muzzle with a FH on it.

It would be easier to just slip on a fake can and would look better too

That would be a waste of money to buy a UR and thread the 16" barrel end. You could do a CR FSB instead on a 16"FR series and achieve the same on a cheaper rilfe.

How about cut and pin/weld a 14 x 1oh Bulgarian beer can on it! That would be pretty cool if you don't wanna sbr.

There is enough meat on the 5.45 guns. When I SBR'd mine I threaded it 1/2x28. The problem is that you won't get much shoulder.

It will also look ugly as hell and could cause barrel droop if you use a suppressor.

Here is mine with a direct thread suppressor:

With an SBR you can use the gas block as a shoulder.
