ive got a 10.5, 12, and 14.5 at the moment.
I have a spare upper, CH, BCG, handguards (carbine and mid length), and a DD1.5 in the parts box. All I need is a barrel. Want this to be a FSB build as everything else is railed out to the max. Which leads me to ask.... 14.5" mid length Or 12.5" carbine |

Any idea if the HG's get hot with the gb under them? Yes. I ran my 10.5" 7.62x39 fairly hard one day with a DD MFR9 and every shot past 100 felt like a torch was being waved across my hand. Baseball gloves come in handy in that case. What handguard are you going to use Fin? |

I like shorter middies so I vote for the 14.5. Chances are you've got an sbr'd lower so pin may not be necessary. That way, the only thing stopping you from changing your mind and going to the 12.5 is a barrel change and a gas tube. I've got several SBR lowers so pinning isn't needed. The 14.5 is leading for me as I've never had one in a mid length. My current 12" is this:

I am in the market for a 14.5" upper right now myself

No no, you now need something longer. 18-20". Mk12, SAM-R, your own SPR etc etc. Rifle gas, fixed buttstock. Too much fun.  Actually a vanilla A4 or A2 might even be the ticket..
Your guns are all super sweet though. FWIW. This....you already have the shorter lengths covered. Go with a 18" SPR. I started with an 18" SPR middy then built a 14.5 middy and finally built a 10.3" pistol/sbr ...have not decided yet which way to leave it. So...go the bases covered I think. |

I have a 13" SMR rail waiting on an 18" barrel to pair with the new PA 4-14x. |

Quoted: 14.5 midlength has been less than reliable (BCM) in my experience. Get the 12.5 Or an 18 SPR |
