Listen to the sage advice offered. I have owned all of the listed lengths and the 16" was by far the most reliable and accurate of the bunch. If you want to scare small children and old folks the 11" with the 5" flash supressor will not only look like a flame thrower but will also rattle your fillings loose. Can we say muzzle blast boys and girls, I had the same experience with a 14.5" Bushmaster with the tri comp compensator LOUD. The 16" was match accurate and reliable plus the A2 flashhider wasnt nearly as obnoxious to shoot or be around while it was being shot.skip the 11.5 + the looooong flash hider perm attached
go with the 14.5 with extended perm attached IF you never want to be able to take the front sight base off....
the 16 is the way to go if you ever want to make changes to the barrel.

+1 SBRs are just too damn loud and flashy. My 16" has all the accuracy you'll ever need and is quite pleasant to shoot. The shorter the bbl the less reliable also.Listen to the sage advice offered.
