M4 Short outer barrel

[Henton03]

Hi guys so I'm looking at doing a real short M4 build and putting an suppressor on it recessed back into the handguard 

I'm liking the look of some 7 and 8 inch handguards but am struggling to find a outer barrel short enough to accommodate recessing the suppressor.

Is there such a thing as a off the shelf 5" m4 outer barrel or would this need to be custom made ? 

I'm looking for something like a 4" suppressor and a 5" barrel 

thanks in advance

Head over to ak2m4.co.uk

I'm sure I saw a kit of barrel sections on there so you can make a wide selection of barrel lengths.

Indeed!  They don't make them like that anymore, which may not be a bad thing.
