Thank you this is exactly the info I needed to know.

96 SS, when you say "For me it comes down to SBR or not. For SBR it's worth the hassle to cut down another inch of barrel, but for non-SBR it's not worth it." are you implying that going the "K" route is not worth it altogether? Or it's just not worth going the "104" route without SBRing?

I know that with the 104 front end you are given more barrel length to work with in regards to chopping and threading.

Thank you both again.
