SOLD

I like the sight radius on a 20 inch versus a carbine.  Is there any disadvantage to having ADCO cut my barrel around 4 inches so that the muzzle is right after the front sight base (with a birdcage flash-hider)?

I suppose the advantage would be that I could put a telestock on it and the total length of the rifle would be shorter and therefore easier to manuever in close quarters.

You'll most likely have to increase the size of the gas port in the barrel since the gas port will be closer to the muzzle. Adco should have specs, I'm sure they can handle it.

You will want to open the gas port... no doubt about it. Better moving the gas port back to 9.5 and doing a dissy type thing, I have gotten a lot of request for these lately... seems popular.
