Please help. I own a Armalite 223 A4 Carbine Postban. My problem is that I was given for Christmas a ARMS S.I.R system for it and guess what? It does not fit properly. Mine is a Carbine, and the SIR system is for a shorty, so when installed it leaves a 1-2 inch area exposed between the gas block and the SIR. I have called Armalite and it seems that they do not sell a Shorty barrell for my gun unless you are law enforcement. Or at least that's what I was told. I like the front gas block and removable sights that is on the Armalite and really would like to keep the entire gun Armalite, but I would also like to use my SIR. Does anyone here know if Armalite makes what Im looking for? I know other mfg's do but I like mine the way it is except for this problem. Thanks to all in advance. |

Nope it will definately not fit, properly. But someone here should know whether or not Armalite makes a shorty barrell. If not I will have to go to another manufacturer. My goal was to keep everything Armalite. However that may not be in the cards for me. BTT Anyone? |

you don't need a "shorty" barrel. Just a barrel with a [b]standard[/b] carbine length sight radius/handguards. Any 16"/14.5" carbine barrel will work with your SIR as long as it doesn't use Medium Length handguards. Edit: "Shorty" is just a nickname given to carbines because they are shorter than standard rifles. Like the Bushmaster AK Shorty. Just a standard carbine w/an AK brake. |
