Silver_Surfer Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Anyone try a 14.5" or 14.7" with a mid-length gas system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reduced size seems nice, but pretty unnoticeable once you're actually shooting. Velocity loss is almost negligible. Making it legal is kind of a pain, especially if you like trying out different brakes. But really I don't like mid length gas till I get down to 13.7" barrels. Anything longer I want intermediate, till 16", then intermediate is minimum gas length and rifle gas is preferred. I've got a 15" intermediate and a 14.8" rifle gas and they are both way nicer to shoot than my three 14.5" mid gas barrels. My next barrel project will be a 17" rifle +1" gas and then probably a 14" intermediate after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To make things worst I would have to get a muzzle devise welded, pinned to make it to 16" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
