Neat, removable barrel, but the handguard stays on the upper - so, looks to me like only 6-8" shorter without the barrel. Not like the length is cut in half.
SWitch barrel...spare barrel in 300 AAC.

Ahhhhhh
wondered when they would offer an AR for that...
Need to make it a double barrel
Then you just pull it off and flip it around. 
Didn't think of that...good idea

Neat, but wonder about the out-o-whack optics question

Or maybe for the intended use the zero isn't TOO problematic?
I just have to ask.

I was thinking the same thing. I will tell a little true story that is hard to believe. I had a 16".300 blk that I had assembled from parts. I decided to make it Into an SBR so I picked up a different lower so I could shoot it as a pistol, along with an 8.5" barrel. When I got it all swapped out, I remounted the scope and took it to the range. The danged thing was within a half inch of the previous POI at 100 yards!! I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't done it myself!!
