RTB has several barrels that according to internet lore are OEM’d by Ballistic Advantage.
I opened and gauged their 13.9” midlength pencil barrel today. It has a .625” gas block journal.
I started with a 0.079 pin gauge; it entered and stood freely but did not drop through. (Pic below)
The 0.078 pin dropped through. I did not grab a picture.
Note that SOLGW sizes their 13.7” midlength to .0785.

Seems like a reasonable port size. I know the BCM .076 on a 14.5 middy is a tad lean.
If my memory is correct BA makes barrels for SOLGW.
You shouldn't assume that to be the case anymore...Quote:
