I'm also not sure about the short barrel trend. What's the reason you need the short barrel? If it's a range gun I wouldn't be so worried about a short barrel.
Gas pressures at the port are higher with shorter barrels and can lead to issues with cycling; if you are building, bear this in mind.

The site has died down way before the weekend unfortunately. You're right the eotech would be a luxury and not a necessity. As for the barrel, I honestly just prefer the look of it. Again, this is going to be only used at the range. Basically just something for me to screw around with (responsibly of course).

The Colt 6920 has a quad rail, so I may look into those. I may be moving soon, so I am not going to worry about laws until I figure out where I'll actually be. Any other recommendations?
