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?

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"... Edited October 12, 2021 by Albroswift Drunk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albroswift Posted October 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 I've been on the receiving end of several of the brothers' generosity, just keeping the karma somewhat in balance. All good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear Posted November 27, 2021 Report Share Posted November 27, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
