Guns, Dogs and Blades QnA

Maybe, I'm just an AR beginner and looking for ideas. Please explain.

STrike that, I'll google and play around and see.
So ... looking at lengths and compactness of the rifle (I borrowed this from a stranger.... not mine)

Overall length, stock extended is 36"
Overall length of the lower receiver stock extended is 18 1/2 inches
Overall length of the lower receiver with stock collapsed is 15"

Overall length of the upper receiver/ barrel is 24 1/2"
Barrel length with flash suppressor is about 17"

So

If length is a factor, unless you're running a barrel that is shorter than 8" (collapsible stock) 10" with an fixed stock, then you won't get a shorter part than the upper and barrel....

Just breaking it down at the designed points vice disassembly
