Is there any difference in reliability between a 14.5 barrel with a carbine system vs. a 16 barrel with a mid length system ??
thanks in advance for any help |

anybody else and the reason I ask is I was going to go SBR but decided (after reading around on this forum) its not worth the trouble so Noveske N4 Light 14.5" w/ flash hider, carbine or the 16" middy - trying to decide Unless you think you'll need it in tight confined spaces I'd go mid-length simply because of the extra rail/handguard space and the increased iron sight radius, YMMV. I am sure that either will be utterly reliable, so don't get too hung up on that. |
