16" barrel with a vortex = about 1.90" clearance with my crappy digital calipers.
Edited to add: +\- .005"

Ironman I'm sorry I didn't get this up yesterday like I promised, but here it is.

I ordered my Foliage Green Noveske 14.5" Light Carbine Upper with chrome lined cold hammer forged barrel, 13.5" NSR & Surefire FH556-212A (pinned) from Rainier Arms. Rainier Arms was really great to work with and took excellent care of me. Noveske gave me an delivery time of 8 weeks, 6 weeks for the custom upper and an additional 2 weeks for the custom color. I received the upper 5 and 1/2 weeks after placing the order.
I coulda swore I posted thanking you guys (Steve and Serpico) for getting those measurements for me...I also thought there was a third guy that posted the same numbers...but can't find that either
Anyway, thanks again for taking the time to get that for me. I'll be picking up a 13.5" NSR sometime in the near future as it will work perfectly for what I want to do!
I'd suggest not using the front NSR handstops as barricade supports/hooks. They don't seem to like it. Mine just falls out of the keyhole now. Hehehe oops. One only learns through trying.
