Gas Tube Length? > Build It Yourself

Posted: 2/18/2010 2:44:56 PM EDT

Currently ordered a 24' WOA barrel . I know that the gas block will be a "rifle length" block , but when I go to order one on Del-ton its says "CAR" and "Standard" . Which one is the "rifle" length tube? This is my first build so any help would be great . Thanks .

I'll give you a clue. its not a CAR length, lol. I would assume they mean standard as in M16A1 the original. which is a 20" rifle length.

I figured as much . the "CAR" length being the carbine , and standard being the normal one . Just wanted to check before I ordered it . Thankyou for the input .

You're not nice

The 26" I ordered had an appropriate length tube. It was longer.
458

It should come with the right tube.

"Rifle length" doesn't refer to the length of the gas block. It refers to the length of the gas system as a whole, with the difference being the length of the gas tube.
