I am in the process of building an NFA/Class III short-barreled AR, and I plan on using an 11.5" barrel.  I have read that rifles with barrels this short sometimes experience cycling/feeding problems due to a lack of gas pressure.  If this is so, what is the easiest fix?  Or, will it depend on the indivisual rifle?

 Like Noname posted pigtail would help.  
 I have 11.5" ,didn't try pigtail yet because I don't have a problem at all, as far as reliabiliry is concerned .  I think the gas tube will be shorter if you go shorter than 11.5", therefore reliability, or lack thereof, will be a factor.  I did change heavy duty extractor spring and install O-ring to improve extraction.
