My interest besides compatible ammo & mags is there seem to be certain advantages in home defense use with 5.56 as opposed to 9mm or such. (Of course something shorter like a pistol being easier to navigate inside a house)

(obviously best of all worlds would probably be a tax-stamped SBR in 5.56)

Certainly. For instance if the invaders of your home are clad in bullet-proof vests. In which case, the buffer tube w/ Sig arm brace is only interfering w/ maneuvers. Or as w/ the PLR16, no need to hold steady against a single-point sling, if that’s your favorite stability hold for outdoors pinging.

One thing w/ that particular gun: The original polymer 10 rnd mag does not drop naturally upon release. I have replaced it w/ an aluminum 10 rnd mag to begin festivities - after that, no possibility of concealment as everybody can see where the heck you’re firing from. I dubbed it Dragon Fire for that reason.
