Colt thought it would work with a carbine, mid length runs even better.

Who makes this and does having it installed increase length of pull on the fixed stock? Thanks in advance to you, or anyone else who knows. |

This one is in 450 Bushmaster. Result will be the same.

This set-up is exceptionally sweet and has not had any kind of failure at all (only about 300 rounds so far) and as of today is shooting into a 2" ball at 50 yards with a 4x scope. http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb27/INLAND44/Guns/sightpic.jpg I still have this great 'middy' and always look forward to punching some paper with it. |
| I’ve got a question ... I took a PSA stainless midlength upper with a A frame front sight. Pulled it apart and put it back together on an A1 style receiver. I have not shot it yet, but suspect the front sight will be too tall. Any easy fix, or am I worrying about nothing? |
I've tried to see things from the liberal point of view ... but I'm just not flexible enough to get my head up my ass.

Miami_JBT I love that! Going to be doing the same thing with a no stamp pistol build. Is that a 12.5" barrel with true midlength gas or a Kino configuration with carbine gas? I found a KAK 12.5" barrel with actual mid length gas I'm planning to use. How does your sbr cycle? Thanks!

I have a stripped A2 upper that will be built into a midlength like that.

I ran into a problem with my middy/fixed stock - shooting some IMI 77gr I popped a primer. Discussing it on another forum 'over-gassed' was mentioned, which started me really thinking and also checking out the AR. Right off the bat it hit me that when I bought the refurbished M16A1 stock, tube, buffer and spring as a set, I did not test or replace the spring - mistake #1 - the spring was weak and visibly shorter than a new one (I do not yet have 1000 rounds on this set-up so it was well-used when I installed it). Also, a rifle spring and buffer may still be too light for a mid-length gas system with certain ammunition, like IMI 77gr Razor Core that is known to be hot - mistake #2.
I happened to have on-hand a new Wolff 'Standard' rifle spring so I installed it - immediately felt a stronger resistance on the charging handle. Took it to the range yesterday and everything runs fine with no more loose primers and I got my accuracy back too. Accuracy can be affected by a weak spring because of early extraction (which causes blown primers) and hammering in the buffer tube. So anybody running a rifle receiver extension with a mid-length gas, which should be just about everybody in this thread, you might have to change springs more often and/or use a heavier spring depending on the loads you use.

'Thought the barrel looked familiar. I'm using a CMMG midlength "medium contour."
Love the ground down fsb, I'm too chicken to do that. For now... ' Yes, 'Medium Contour'. Hasn't been available for some time. When you check the dimensions for the 'RECCE' barrel it matches. Cutting off the top of the sight base is not a big deal but I see you still have a BUIS so it would be out of the question. I did it mainly to save a few ounces out front plus maybe a slightly more clear view through the ACOG. If you ever do it, use a hacksaw and leave a little meat above the gas tube. I mainly used a file to round off the stubs and I still left a little flange there - kind of protecting the gas tube. Assuming Parkerizing, touch-up with Alumahyde II 'Dark Parkerizing'. |
