one of the ways the military addapted to this issue in the war in iraq when most still carried the long m16 when they entered a building was to place the stock over the shoulder (generaly the right since most people statisticly speaking are right handed and aiming down the barrle and not the sights that shaved a good 2 feet off the front end profile of the gun, thats assuming you have a long gun, personaly with the sr-10 i keep my stock on 0 or 1 so i generaly keep it shouldered when i go around a door and put my back to the door frame opposite to the way im looking, so that way i can lean out quick and tuck back in quick with out anything obstructing me or my gun, another option is grab a P90 cause of the design and size of the gun you can stand right against the edge of the door and pop in and out with out worrying about smacking your gun on anything and if you include a laser on the left side of the gun most of the times you dont actuly have to put much of your head around the corner either to shoot if the need arises just poke the gun around and one eye, another protip for if your doing cqb or in side any structre avoid puting pouches on the sides of your vest as this will obstruct arm mobility and on occasions impeed quick movement threw doorways, same for front pouchs keep them as flat and close to the chest as you possibly can to prevent it from impeading your ability to strafe threw obsticals while shooting.
edit a good way to lower your profile when peaking or shooting around a door if the area around you provides you the ability crouch the leg closes to the door and swing your other leg out strait toward the arm opposit the leg you crouched on, to go in to a extreamly low and (suprisingly) comfortable crouch i use this method cause its the quickest to recover from when its time to move and doesnt require the use of your hands, quick to get in to, and out of, and still provides a (relitively)stable shooting position for short to medium term engagements.
