Had to go back out and check, still have have one from the last group order from WOA, 11-1/8" on the nose. The one I made was closer to 11-3/16". May be one of the reasons the barrels were $49.95. Anyway, After the re-drill to AR-15 spec above, 10-1/16"

DOes that include adding 0.600" to the cam-pin center-to-gas port center?  What number are you posting?  Just center to center?

Yep, center of cam to port (EDIT + .600). Double checked that after trying a 9-3/4" carbine tube that was 5/16" too short. That's what got me spinning in the first place. (that and Armalite saying their 6" hand guard was for AR15/ AR10)

Looked at some posts from 2-3 years ago Willbird 11-1/8" See your post 11" on the button, Jtallen83 10-7/8" , my 11-3/16"... Last WOA order 11-1/8"...

Add 0.600" to that, and that's the length of gas tube that you'd need.  Right on the money.

I edited last post, 10-1/16 includes the .600

I'm making my own out of straight rifle length tube so if I fuk it up aint the end of the world anyway.

Thank you Brother, it's in the build box 

Some day I'll find something you need, that you haven't already made yourself! I've been searching intermittently for a couple glass tubing cutters, early 1900's era, I know I have somewhere since you mentioned cutting tubes ....... I'll run into them someday after you no longer have a need.

I've been on the receiving end of several of the brothers' generosity, just keeping the karma somewhat in balance. All good.

Cut and bent the tube this afternoon. AR cutter of course!

I have been building a similar rifle with a 16" BA barrel, "midlength" system, using an A2 front sight block. All locations were perfect, until I started shopping for a handguard.
