I'd rather put the SBR/Pin and weld money into simply buying a better barrel.As a follow-on question to RadioActivity's comment, does 14.5+pinned muzzle device buy one that much vs 16" + normal muzzle device? I haven't shot any of the former, but is that inch and a half worth it? I think I heard Roland state on one of the modcasts that he prefers 14.5", to the point that it'd be worth it to SBR all one's lowers.
A $250 16" is gonna perform like a $250 barrel. A $200 14.5" with a $50 pin and weld still performs like a $200 barrel, despite costing you $250.
Additionally, re-barreling becomes more costly/more of a chore. Instead of just swapping barrels, now you gotta pay some guy to take off and reinstall your muzzle device.
I dunno, that's just the way I think about it.
Unless you use a Faxon slim muzzle device. But then no can use.
