Does anyone know how long a 14.5 barrel with a Vortex FS INSTALLED would be? Thanks

Cool, thats what I was hoping. Now you say "correctly" if done incorrectly could it turn out shorter?

Yeah, had to add that. A tenth of an inch (2.54mm) leaves little room for error.

Depending on slight variations in all the Vortex flash hiders out there (real and knock-off), barrels, and washers (lock, peel, or crush) I suppose someone *could* come in under the legal minimum even though they were using the correct parts.

Measure twice, solder once. [;)]
