Well, the length can be different if you use a different muzzle device, but the fsb to the end of the barrel should be the same on all... that is if my trusty green painted wood ruler is as trusty as I think...

From your post above your ruler might be broken. The lenght maybe shorter than you think Just ask my wife what 8 inches looks like!

It's the same as an 20" A2. I think so at least, because they are the right length to attach a bayonet.

Close, the mid length is about a 1/4" shorter.

Mounting a bayonet on both will illustrate the difference in length btw an A2 and Mid
(pun intended)
