I am in the middle of building a pistol. I want to use a 10" SLR Rifleworks M-LOK rail with a Geiselle .750 Low profile Gas block. I will be using a 10.5" barrel. Should I use a Pistol tube from SLR at 6.625" or a 9.75" carbine tube?

Sorry for the noob question this is my first build and I want to do it right the first time.

Wouldn't that depend on the location of gas port in the barrel you are buying?

if you can supply a link to the barrel, we can probably tell you.

This, it depends completely on where the gas port is located. On a 10.5" barrel in 5.56 it's usually located at the carbine sight. In .300 blackout it's probably located at the pistol position.

ETA: How do you get to 6,000 posts on AR15.com without knowing this?
