Adams Arms Piston System and Noveske Barrels?

K9222 · #1 01-22-10, 22:48

Wanting to do a noveske 10.5 or NEW 8.5 upper but I want to do a Adams Arms Gas Piston System. I will be suppressing this weapon and it will run suppressed all the time unless for some reason I need to take the suppressor off. My question is will the Piston system fit the Novekes? I read on thier website that their gas block are 1" instead of 1.9" average. Since the Adams Arms Gas Blocks look to be longer than 1", can I make it work? Also how will this set up run suppressed? Post pics if you have similar set ups please.

Anybody? Can any body recommend a 8.5" - 9.5" barrel that i can purchase other than the complete uppers from POF and LWRC? Anybody make just a barrel in the lenght I want that I can purchase? I really want the extra lenght to get the most velocity I can from a SBR/supressed setup and still keep the total lenght of the the barrel with suppressor attahced under 14.5".

WOA barrels' gas block areas, if I recall, are closer to 2" and should provide enough space for most piston installs. Not sure if they make barrels of the length you seek, however.

I built a 16" mid length using a stainless WOA barrel and Adams Arms gas unit. Plenty of room for the gas block.
