I have two ban-era AR10 carbines with the pinned 3-baffle brakes on 16" barrels. Its factory. I believe the vast majority, if not all, of the Armalite AR10A2/A4/T carbines were made that way.

My '04 EagleArms had a pinned & welded brake which I removed. The barrel is 16 1/4".

I have an AR10 with an a2 stock, 16" barrel and pinned brake but it's not readily available to me. I think there is a 16" under there but am not sure

Thanks all! This is what I would have thought. Looks like a return trip and an official measurement is in order.

It is in fact over 16 inches, but just barely. It passes both the breech face test, and even just barely passes the pure length test, but just barely.
I went over it fairly closely and could find only one issue. This rifle doesn not appear to have been fired much, but the gas rings (a single coil) are not especially tight. Given the minor wear on the normal wear points, this is the only thing that is a bit out of place. It's clean, and if you point the bolt/carrier straight up with the bolt extended, the ring tension just barely holds it out. If you jar it, the bolt will retract. $950... Since we have rules:

That's a McFarlin gas ring and that's normal.

Looks like the old gasblock as well...a true classic. Anybody got a 20-round mag with a plunger in the follower that he can purchase for $100?
