The SOCOM wasn't even announced until after I had the can. And as much as I like it, unless you strictly run it on a semi or full-auto platform it would not be my first choice because of the way it's designed. The SOCOM is obnoxiously loud on bolt guns compared to the Legacy lines. In retrospect I would rather have the RE762K or a Thunderbeast. Besides... being different means I get to spend more time researching and playing with new products to try and make it work...
Add: You don't lose another 1/2" on the SF brake for this model for the threads. The way it's designed it does only overlap by 2.5" from crown to the back of the brake and then another .25" for the back of the Suppressor QD section.

Any excuse to take pictures and play with guns... lol...
You can't see it from the angle, but the brake sits at 8"
The best I could do trying to get an image of the crown inside the brake. I have a basic camera, nothing fancy for lenses, and I don't know any of the tricks you guys got, so take it for what it is lol...

If it overlaps it at all it will be hard to tighten down. that QD section looks wider than it is. You really want to be able to grip the entire section.
Add: I have looked at the guards with an ID larger enough to fit, but they're all 9" or more. There are very few manufacturers doing 8" other than lopro designs.

Daniel Defense also makes a 7.5" from what I can tell.

Can we get back to the topic where I was seeking help in finding actual handguard lengths and not go where it's heading with comments about my can.

Man, that doesn't look easy to find the right handguard for that setup, which is why these are made for SPR type guns.
Good luck, keep us posted on how that turns out.

It's a legal SBR that I can do whatever on, but I don't want to go any longer than the 10.5 or it defeats the purpose IMO of an SBR. I know a few good smiths but getting a good cut, crown, and thread job would cost more than it's worth. I'm just gonna get measurements on what's out there and then decide.
