Intermediate gas system? Haven't seen those. If you can measure the distance between the upper receiver to the forward end of the gas block maybe we can have a better idea. A 12" rail will cover the gas block and then some of a mid-length gas system. The 11" rail will cover the whole gas block of a mid-length exactly.

Yes a 12" rail would cover a mid gas system. The far end of the gas block should be at roughly 10-11"

The intermediate gas system is in between a mid-length and a rifle-length gas system. Not sure exactly how long.

Oops sorry about that, for some reason I was thinking it was the same. After a little looking around I found this picture of a Noveske SPR barrel (intermediate length system)

You can compare the 13.2" LT handguard and try to judge what length might work for you.
