Just purchased this barrel


How do I know what size gas tube is needed?  Sorry if this is redundant, I have searched everywhere and still confused.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You'll need a carbine length gas tube

Looks like KBAD is correct. Could measure.... 7" carbine, 9" mid-length.

M4 = Carbine length. Make sure you buy a .750" ID gas block/

Thanks guys. Do not actually have it in hand but it is in transit.  Was able to pick up a YHM LP GB and BCG at gun show this weekend so I'm about ready to finish the build. Just need a handguard.

Everybody on here has been really helpful, from answering questions to making purchases, much appreciated.

Gas tubes are hard to come by, but found this one @Brownells.  Will it work?

That one will work. Make sure you get a gas tube roll pin. Brownells doesn't say if it come with one or not. Better safe than sorry.
