No, it's in between the rifle and carbine length gas tube, hence the name
 .They are cool, and have a slightly softer recoil pulse than a carbine gas system and longer sight radius too. People argue about the reliability, but no one can prove anything, Get one if you want one - therei s a huge thread of pics somewhere... |

I think you're thinking of the dissipator. It has a full (not carbine or mid length) gas system on a 16" barrel.

Actually, the Dissipator is a carbine length gas system. www.bushmaster.com/shopping/barrel-assemblies/abbl-16dm4a.asp |

+1  i thought that the dissy was origionally a rifle lenght system on a carbine lenght bbl.... anyways, i like the midlength--full look, carbine bbl, longer sight radius--looks great and if it really does have wear out the parts less, well so much the better

There aren't a whole lot of specific reasons not to get a middy over a carbine gas system;
- you don't like how it looks - the rail system you want isn't made in that length - your favorite brand doesn't offer them That's about all I can come up with. |
