Why would he want a carbine gas 20” barrel?

I have heard the shorter the gas, the less it affects barrel harmonics. Hard to believe reliability increases with carbine gas and 20" barrel.
Either way, not a choice most would make.

I absolutely agree there is no need for the carbine gas on a 20" barrel (or a lot of barrel lengths).
I should note that I have read the theory of shorter gas system yielding accuracy, I am not suggesting the theory is correct/it's not my theory. If it was valid, repeatable, and measurable, more people would be doing it.

I think it is important to remember that at the end of the day, its about selling guns. Clint having a firearm that is the same as everyone elses means that it doesn't get sold. Clint having a weapon that is unique (in a very difficult market), means that he is attracting more people than he otherwise would have.
