Looking for a 16inch 1/9 twist with rifle length hand guards. Prefer a light profile barrel but honestly don't care what it is. This would be to replace the standard 16 inch upper on my Bushmaster so I am not sure if the gas system needs to be any different. I don't understand the mid length concept.
I have tons of M193 with no heavier ammo so yes I want the 1/9 twist before everyone jumps on that. 
I know CMMG has something similar but do not want 1/7 twist. |

Thanks Here you go |

My current Bushmaster is marked .223 (on the receiver) but has shot 5.56 quite well. Only a small amount of Wolf .223 but it has been 100% as well. I wouldn't see this barrel being any different.
This is a daily carry rifle on the farm and I was thinking the longer area for the grip would be more useful. |

I know CMMG has something similar but do not want 1/7 twist. What is your goal, exactly? Just more sight radius or railestate? If so, you can just use your barrel, shave the gas block, and use a 12" to 15" rail with a front iron sight and call it a day. |

Didn't think of adding a rail for the same effect. Sure would be cheaper. Definitely need to look at the options. Useful advice. |
