Haven't shot it with the new barrel yet, but based on others' comments I have high expectations. |

Because it's not the same length.
A 16" barrel with flash hider exceeds 17" in length. I, and many others, notice the extra 1" when maneuvering tight quarters. For me, a 14.5 pinned to 16 just balances and handles better. While there is a decrease in velocity, it's not enough to make an appreciable difference in performance, as evidenced by the large number of 14.5" barreled carbines in use by Uncle Sam. Finally, a 16" carbine barrel, to my eyes, just looks wrong. |

See if you prefer the ergonomics, you may just decide to go with the thread protector or buy/build a new rifle. Converter an existing 16" it not very economical unless your 16" upper has a high resale value. |

Ok... My bad. Most folks I know use 14.5 generically, not precisely. I assumed you thought all barrels less than 16" necessarily came with FH longer than A2 |

Bushmaster Hbar turned down to LW and cut back with pinned A2
I have been tossing around the idea of selling the upper to fund another project. 
ETA: total length is 16.375 even though I wanted it 16.1 
What is the total length of the 14.5 with extended A2? |

What is the total length of the 14.5 with extended A2? It should come out to 16-16.1 but there are a few companys making them now so i cant be sure if one could go up to 16.2 or something. |

I think the extended barrel - which is what a 16" barrel is - looks stranger. no... just a 16" bbl on a carbine length gas system could be called an "extended bbl". how does a ML with a 16" bbl look strange when that is what the system was designed around. |

~Augee Where did you get the "double nut" A2 suppressors? It was a custom mod done by Randall at AR15barrels.com back when he was a reliable barrel smith - but it's not difficult to do, you just use two A2 flash suppressors and cut the "nut" with the wrench flats of an second A2 comp and have them timed together and pinned. A cheap and easy way to do it if you have extra A2 comps without having to buy an expensive extended muzzle device that doesn't look too "out of place." ~Augee |

I thought it would be obvious enough I was refering to an M4 barrel.

I like being able to use BFAs as well - the KAC M4QD comp can be used with a spacer and mount a BFA as well, and I suspect (though I haven't personally tried it) that the Micor pictured a couple pages back should be able to as well - especially if it's an NT4 compatible mount. ~Augee |
