 You guys and your mid lengths have had me slowly burning up a Jonesing for one.......I looked at a nice Armalite Middie and a RRA today...both were really nice but I do NOT like HBARS on AR-15s....does anyone in the top five make a Mid length / pencil barrel?

 Yes, I could look but someone who knows will probably get me what I want to know faster....I'm on dial up here and "on line shopping" is a big pain in my ass.

 Thanks folks!!!

I wish. Closest is Government profile. You would have to get one made.

Either send your midlength to ADCO to have it turned down, or have one of the custom tube makers, a la Noveske, make you one. That's the best you're gonna do for now.

So who makes the government profile mid-length?

That's another good question!  Both the RRA and the Armalite were HBAR......both were really sweet....I couldn't decide on the Picatinny RRA with the built in rear sight ( NNNNnnniiiiiccceeeee! ) or the Armalite A2 midlength......

I'm not clear on the definition of mid-length barrels, but if you mean 16", then I believe Bushmaster has one and J&T Distributing also carries one.  I believe they are both .625" in diameter.

Bushmaster does not make mid length gas system barrels. CMMG is the company that offers government profile mid length barrels. $250. They are 1/7 CL 5.56 barrels.

There are other players now, but I got mine from ADCO too.  Works great.

Bravo Company is making a mid-length government profile, 1/7 chrome lined barrel. They are being made as we speak and are not yet available. There is a thread here someplace that describes them. And Grant is going to do a group buy on them when they come out.

Sabre defence makes a gov't profile midlength. It's lighter than my M4s.

ETA: it has feedramps as well. 1/7 twist I believe.
