When I do the math it looks like the BE Meyers flash hider on a 13.7" barrel would come up just short.

How do you make it a 16" OAL? Looking at going this direction with a build.

a fake 4.5 inch xm177 moderator will put you over 16 inches.

you're in Pa. why not just SBR the rifle with the 13 inch barrel and put on a standard flash hider?

The 2.7" flash hider along with required 0.125" shim for install on AR-15/M-16 barrels brings it to 16.125" total!

An 18D pal discovered this quite by accident a few years back
