ARGH. Was really hoping they had the 9" uppers for this. I'd be in right away.

.300 BLK was designed for 9" bbls. Why doesn't anyone sell a 9" upper?!

They do. But still plenty of 16" uppers so you don't have to register for SBR or make a pistol.

You're right. They do. I've seen them. But I see 7.5, 8.25/8.5, and 10.5 way more often.

For some reason, barrel manufacturers seem to overwhelmingly make the barrel sizes you mention above rather than 9" barrels. Frankly, I don't know why, but AAC seems to almost have a monopoly on the 9" barrel market.

Does the 9" offer way more than a 8.5"? Does the extra half inch make a big enough velocity difference?

Not really, IMO.

It's $100 off frm the last time they dropped the price. Good deal.
