Is the barrell in the "AR-15 DS-4 Kit" 16 inches?

Also, can you explain the basic differences between the "AR-15 DS-4"  kit and the "Complete 16" CAR Kit".

Thanks

The DS-4 kit  is a 16" barrel with the M-4 cutout in front of the sight tower and a lighter contour under the handguard.

I, too, have questions about this kit, as the website doesn't seem to accurate in its description:

1.) If I buy the Pre-Ban Kit, Is the Standard Buttstock a Pre-Ban (Telescoping), or is it post-banned (pinned)?
2.) Am I correct in assuming the upper assembly comes pre-assembled & headspaced?
3.) How much would shipping cost?

The reason I'm asking is because I'm helping a friend build himself a pre-ban style M-4 Style carbine before he gets sent off to Basic Training.  He wants to get some practice in, and wants a pre-ban style rifle before they're banned again...

From what I've heard from friends, your quality is quite nice, as well as service...  Thanks for being an AR-15.com contributing Industry Partner, as well...  Not often do manufacturers take this kind of interest in their customer base.

Here's the answersfor your questions.

1)  On pre ban DS-4 kits it comes with the 6 position DS-4 stock.  Post ban version come with the pinned stocks.
2)  Our uppers come assembled and headspaced.
3) Shipping would run ~$18 to MN

Let me know if there's anything else.
