[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Length difference for mid-length

Posted: 3/26/2009 5:07:21 AM EDT

Been trying to find specs on this and have come up dry.

How much farther down the barrel is a mid-length gas port than a carbine?

Thank you. I'm hoping to get a low-profile gas block under a 10" hand guard with a middy. Looks like I can just do it with one of those short blocks.

A short 1" block will be slightly exposed under a 10" handguard.

On a BCM middie barrel, an LT 10.0 rail, and a VLTOR LP GB; the handguard ends at the middle of the forward set screw.
