This is not a new idea. ArmaLite already makes this. Personally I like the shorter handguards better, but I have each kind.

Armalite has been making their carbines like that for years. However, Bushmaster probably won't, because replacement parts and accessories aren't designed for the "mid-length" carbines. No RASs, M500As, M4 handguards, aluminum float tubes, etc.
Besides, Bushmaster's focus is on Mil-Spec-compatible configurations... -Troy |

You mean like what Armalite did with their mid-length handguards that they use on all their carbines?

Your thinking.... but the result would be strictly cosmetic and probably would not warrant the cost to make the changes accross the board.

Yeah! What you want is the same amount of barrel sticking out past the front sight base as on a rifle. That way the bayonet fits the same.
This is why an M4 has a bbl length of 14.5" - so a bayo will fit on properly with the standard carbine/commando format. Same length from the front sight forward. |

Wreck, if this was a new product, the bayonet doesn't matter as no bayonet lug allowed.

Not what I meant. Let me clarify - I like the idea only if I could get it in a PREBAN config! All my rifles are preban except for some highpower guns. IE, take my existing 16" M4 and move the sight, gas tube, and handguards 1.5" forward. All I need is the sight base, gas tube and handguards and it's done. THAT would be cool. An extra 1.5 inches on the sight radius, a proper bayo/accessory fit (not that I am some kinda gung ho wanna be mall ninja) would be nice. I don't know about a petition - just say you'll buy 1000 rifles and they'll make 'em for ya! [BD]

Wreck, just buy the ArmaLite. All their postban carbines are made like this. You could even legally put the postban carbine upper on your preban lower with telescoping stock, etc.

Rock River Arms makes a mid length 16" carbine. Works and looks great. They even have the mid length handguards in green, if you wish.
