There is no option for using a pistol brace, of course so this was built as a registered short-barreled rifle. I used a Faxon 10.5 inch 5.56mm pencil-weight barrel, a Tacstar (?) carbon fiber handguard, a standard KE upper, and a complete WWSD 2021 lower. The hand stop is from Slate Black Industries, and the optic is a Holosun 503CU.<\/p>\n<p>Why not use .300 Blackout? Basically, because 5.56mm is a lot more convenient and I don&#8217;t need any of the benefits of .300.<\/p>\n<p>Why use a fixed stock? Weight, strength, and simplicity. I wanted the light weight of the monolithic polymer stock, and it is a stronger design than a collapsing type.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m really happy with how the experiment turned out! The WWSD Commando has an overall length of 29.5 inches, and weighs (with the optic) 5lb 2oz (2.3kg). It has a bit more snap and bark than a proper-length barrel, but is not unpleasant to shoot by any means.<\/p>\n<p>Contact:<br \/>\nForgotten Weapons<br \/>\n6281 N.
