11.5" mid

[tom12.7]

A dedicated suppressed only mid length gassed 11.5" AR is a valid combination with most full sized cans and proper porting for those.

I am interested to hear how it shoots. SLR gas blocks are outstanding if you need to go the adjustable route.

It appears that a 11.5" midlength is not a good idea as opposed to Carbine.
As for 11.5", that's all Faxon had. I understand the cons to the midlenth after doing some reading.
Should I send my newly bought Faxon mid 11.5" back and go with carbine? I'm sticking with the 11.5"

Thanx

Did you consider Daniel Defense's 11.5?

DD makes great barrels.

i have a DDM4V4 (11.5" carb length, with their pinned fixed gas block). works great without can. with can its overgassed, so recoils more and gets very dirty very quickly. even adding a H3 buffer and Sprinco Red isn't enough to cure it.

OTOH, if matched with a good adjustable gas block it might be perfect, although heavier than the faxon.

I chose DD for my 11.5 build with an SLR S7 adjustable GB. So hopefully it runs well with the can. Whenever my can gains its freedom that is.

sounds like a winner, robert. now its just the wait....

If you want a carbine gassed 11.5" 5.56 upper that works well with or without a can, why not just use a KAC MOD2 upper Vs an over gassed base with a band aid adjustable gas? Most just need a simple buffer swap for what is considered a swap that is pretty much dedicated either way?

Although I think the Mod 2 has the smallest GP available, don't you think a cut-down/custom barrel with a smaller GP is potentially better?

This is assuming running full-power 5.56

Yes, you can tailer it much better for the intended usage for a group as a whole and eliminate many other variables.

FD,
I was pondering your comment when this thought struck me:

A woman can get pregnant and grow a human being inside her belly faster than it takes our government to approve a tax stamp for my next SBR or my can.

If that isn't the epitome of a soup sandwich with a side of FUBAR, I'm not sure what is. I've been waiting 11 months for my SBR stamps, I guess I was really, really fortunate or blessed when my first one was four months. I think I'm going to come up with a list of really complicated things you can do within the time it takes to get a stamp....

Sorry for the digression.

That KAC Mod 2 w/ MAMS is really a nice upper. When I built my 11.5 I didn't really think I was going to suppress it. Still not 100%, but the adj. GB was a just in case.
