| im pretty sure im gonna go with 18" anyway but i was just curious. when cutting a barrel to 16", does that INCLUDE the threads? or is it just the part that sticks out of the reciever? |

If what you're asking is "if i cut my barrel to 16" will i have cut off the threads for the flashider?" If so yes, even 18" cuts off the threads with a couple of inchs to spare. If you go much below 18" its pretty much guaranteed that you will need to drill out the gas port some, you won't be able to get enough adjustment from the regulator to deal with 16". I had to drill mine out a little and i have an 18" barrel. If you add a brake you probably won't get the same effect as the equivalent barrel length. Like seth said you'll just have to see how much you need to drill. No one can tell you exactly how much you'll need to drill based on your barrel length, there are other factors like how good is your gas system. |
