IMO, it would depend on the barrel length. 16"or shorter go CAR. if you are 18" and more go Midlength.

Man that mid-length is a beaut! 16" in length? Same look and setup I was going for, with exception of a black IDF sling instead.

Thanks! The mid was my first and I like the longer handguards. Yup, it's a full 16" 1/9 chrome lined with a Phantom 5C2. It started as a post ban and I had ADCO thread and contour the barrel. It's now wearing a Surefire M81. |

Man, you should have had 'em install a new FSB w/ bayo lug! That's the beauty of the mid-length system on the 16" . . . you can actually use your bayonet lug! |

Midlength. Why? 'Cause that's what I ordered.
 It should come in about a week or so, I can't wait.

I have several of both....in my personal opinion I like the Mid-Length gas system more for several reasons. 1) Longer sight radius (always a good thing, especially if irons are going to be your primary sighting system) 2) Longer handguards give more real estate, weather you are using standard handguard or a rail system. If you have large hand or longer arms you will appriciate the longer handguard of a mid-length. 3) Mid-Length gas system is a little smoother than a carbine gas system. Not by a great margin, but if you fire them side by side you will be able to tell a difference. I have 7 carbines, 3 of them are Mid-Lengths, and 4 of them are M4's.....If I could I would change all of them over to Mid-Lengths. Just my 2 pesos |

Do you already have the upper? If so, what length is your gas system? If it's carbine lenght, then you will have to have the front sight moved forward (assuming it will still be able to fit on the bbl) and the gas tube will have to be replaced.
Regardless of how it looks, the mid length system is bit smoother operating than the carbine system. |

If you want chrome & a 1 in 9 twist 16" super light profile barrel ...then go Bushmaster carbine length
gas system. If you want chrome & a 1 in 7 Govt. profile 16" barrel then go mid length Sabre Defence as offered by Rob @Talon Arms -imo |
