My rifle was too long, so I spent $200 and waited 6 months to make it shorter. Then it was too loud, so I spent another $200 and waited another 6 months to make it quieter. This made it longer again.

Right now it has a cheap Wally world red dot.
Probably just go with a Holosun or similar. |

Measurement is 21 & 7/8" fully collapsed. Hope that helps. Btw: Some great looking pistols in this thread. |

Those Raptor charging handles are great!!! My left hand is somewhat screwed up/paralyzed and I just recently purchased several and installed them on guns with scopes that make getting a hold of the charging handle more difficult. Excellent investment and upgrade!!! I don't put them on guns with forward mounted optics though as they just seem to be more prone to snagging on something at the wrong time.

I'm thinking about sending the upper back to LW for a shorter barrel so I can recess my tirant can, but have to do a little more research. I like your setup though! |
