Looks good to go OP. I have no problem running a carbine gas system on a 16" carbine. Not any real difference to me between a carbine length gas system and mid-length. I have both and shoot both the same. I do not have a silencer and do not want any NFA items.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Carbine gas and no suppressor. Your funeral. 4/10 Cool, you have opinions and along with a narrative that isn't true. 1/10 I like and prefer cans and mid length too but my Colt 11.5 has had zero problems using a carbine gas, and neither has my PSA 16" carbine gassed M4 either so there's that as well. |

OP, you have a fine rifle and have the basics down, so if what you have is your preference then you're at least doing something right.

Ignore the comments about carbine gas. You've got a great gun there. Go shoot the shit out of it and prove them wrong.

It's a shame that KAC M4 RAS take-off's have gotten so retarded expensive.
Can anyone vouch for the Damage Industried drop-in rail (when it is on sale for $99)? https://damageindustriesllc.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=336 Any other drop-in rails worth considering? Maybe Midwest Industries? https://www.opticsplanet.com/midwest-industries-gen2-two-piece-drop-in-handguard-carbine-length-black-mctar-1.html |

Any rifle is better than no rifle at all. No one EVER pleases everyone's preference on this site. No matter how good a rifle is, someone will tell the owner that they did something wrong.
Everyone has an opinion and a nose, both are worth what you paid for them. |

Plenty of dead men who would attest to the quality of rifle very similar to yours, if they could. I like it. The glass is what sold me

And you've got a great optic, a white light, and a sling. Jeez, you've even got nice buis and a good trigger... It's almost too much! That package puts you in 95th percentile of ARs, minimum, IMO. |

I really like your rifle a lot. Sweet paint job.
There's nothing wrong with the carbine gas system, particularly when you're using a properly-made Colt bolt with Colt's wise choice of gas port diameter. If your bolt ends up breaking at 10,000 rounds, you can literally just pop a new one in and you're good to go. You'll probably just as well need a whole new barrel by that point. Personally, if it were mine, I'd have the light put in an Arisaka mount and placed at 3 o'clock (i.e. on the right side and activated by your thumb when it's on the VFG). I'd also be using a regular M4 stock since the B5 kind of pushes my face too far off to the side. |

Good rifle. Lots of solid choices there. My only critique: its got a Nightforce, it deserves to be free floated. Get you an FSB rail like a centurion or similar, you’ll love it.
Edit: poster above me is right too. Omega rails are pretty great. |

The SOPMOD gives me a solid cheek weld and puts my head in a perfect position while using the NF. I prefer the IWC light mounts (Haley Strategic). I can actuate the light with both hands while switching sides for shooting. |

Colt 16” carbine barrels are ported at .0625” and not in any way overgassed or hard on parts.
I’ve taken several over 15K rounds and have yet to break a bolt, or anything. I just rebarreled a 6920 upper with a Geissele 14.5” mid. With the same ammo on the same lower the difference is almost unnoticeable. People who shit talk 16” carbines have no experience with Colt barrels. Similar configuration I ran for awhile.

It’s a solid rifle, a colt 6920 is what every other gun is measured against. Are there guns with compensator/brakes and different gas systems that will shoot softer? Yes, but a colt 6920 will run all day and they’re actually pretty good barrels for a chrome lined. About the only thing I would do differently would be a FSP rail like the MLOK one by Midwest or centurion. I’m taller so I like a little bit extra rail.

For this rifle (and my spare identical to this) I like how tight I’m able to stay to the rifle. It allows me more control and better swing when transitioning from targets. I’ve got a RECCE rifle I had built with a 16” barrel and 15” rail. I like it, but not as much. I like the feeling I get when I shoulder this rifle. |
