Would it be best to send adco a 20in rifle barrel and have them chop it to 14.5-16in or can the gas tube vent be moved forward on a carbine barrel?

It's OK to chop a 20" down to 16", but some people run into cycling issues with some ammo or low temps.
You can move the gas port forward on a 16".....but it is more work than is needed. just leave the gas port where it is, chop the fsb to a low profile to fit under rifle length HGs, and have a new FSB put up front in the rifle position. since most 16" barrels are .700"- .740" up by the FH you will need to get a .625" FSB, as the standard .750" won't fit tight. there is not enough barrel length on a 14.5" barrel to make a Dissy out of.....IIRC you need at least 15". CMMG made some a few years ago that were 14.5" Dissy, but they had to turn down part of the FH to mount the FSB 1/2 on the barrel and 1/2 in the FH. advntrjnky |

I'm going to suggest that you are looking at a 14" rail. That puts the sight at rifle length and the gas system at mid or carbine. So, though without a traditional FSB, really is the spirit of a dissipator. |

Yeah, just zero it with the FSP and then you're good to go out to 600m(not that many people use irons out that far but if the SHTF you never know.)

Spike's upper, BCM BCG, CMMG barrel, Bushmaster A2 stock, MaTech BUIS. I've got a KAC M5 RAS coming this weekend, and I'll take a better quality picture then. I'll torque the barrel nut and attach the gas tube then, too. |

If so, on my ADCO dissy it is held in place with a roll pin where the gas tube would go. If you are using standard handguards you will need the handguard cap but if you are going with a one piece free float you won't need it. Here is a picture as requested but it is hard to see.  |
