| I know that the 16'' version of the rifle comes with an intermediate length gas system that's a bit longer than a mid length. Is this still the standard gas system in their 14.5'' version of the rifle or do you lose the intermediate length gas system when you go 14.5'' ? |

The current 14.5" is a dimpled medium profile barrel. They have been discontinued and command a hefty premium right now though.
The next 14.5s won't be released until at least 2015 from what I've heard. I believe they are going with LW profile barrels for the new generation of 14.5s. The current/old dimpled 14.5s are works of art and shoot crazy soft, but are pretty hefty. Like block II upper hefty. |

Quoted: Yhe KAC 14.5 with it's heavier profile barrel and intermediate gas is definitely a soft shooting rifle. When I zeroed mine while prone, I had to double check that it cycled correctly cause it felt like it barely moved. |
