Ok, I've got a ar-10 24" ss national match barrel. Need it cut to 10.5, medium contour,  and a carbine gas system.What do I need to do to get my order right?

Contour
Threading
Relocate gas port
Dimple for new low pro gas block

Also, what are the dimensions on a medium contour?  Will it be set up to run a standard ar-15 gas tube?

I'm getting ready to buy an ar-10. My plan is to turn it into an SBR.  I would like to have it cut back to 10.5".    What kind of upper would be the easiest for you guys to start with? It looks like all the uppers that armalite offers come with mid length or rifle length gas systems, unless I missed something.


 We can relocate the gas port to carbine. The will require a contour for the new gas block area as well.

  Best to start with rifle gas, that way we can cut the old gas port off when it goes to 10.5"

That's what I was thinking, just wanted to make sure.

Rifle length gas is best, since the old gas port will be cut off, instead of having to plug it.

Ok, already got that covered, am I on track with the test of my post?

medium contour is approx .800. though we can do whatever youd like. looks like youve got everything.

Don't forget Bead Blasting or KG, unless you want it shiny silver.
