Are f-ing kidding me? There's no way that's less than 16".
You gotta be pulling our leg, right?
OK, times up. Yes We Have A Winner. Yes I am pulling all your legs, got to have a little fun and finally causing hate and discontent on the forum.
Wifey likes to shoot standing, bit cannot hold up a rifle very well, so we decided to try this. It is kinda an odd device. Extar EXP556, total length 18in, 8 1/4 barrel, no stock, just an AR pistol that weighs 4lbs dry, muzzle break that is supposed to kill recoil/kick enough to shoot with one hand.
We hope to get a chance to try it out this weekend. Need to get a scope for it, not sure how either one of us will do with that short of a barrel. "Holster" was made of a flat piece of scrap Naugahyde we had laying around just for fun. Interestingly, the bolt stuck out just far enough to ride on my belt to help support it, and it really was not that bad to carry around the house for a few minutes. Had to do a little reposition to sit down, but it could be usable in that configuration if anyone really wanted to do it. Not a lot different that my OWB 45.
Thanks for letting me have a little fun pulling your leg.
