I know CMMG sells a 14.5" barrel w/ a mid legth gas tube. This sounds good, compact barrel with the longer gas tube for a less violent action cycle but I wonder about It's reliability as that is my primary requirement.
TIA,

If you are asking if a mid-length is better that a carbine length tube, then the answer would be.....IMHO, yes.
Well, CMMG screwed up the headspacing on mine, but now that I've gotten that fixed, it runs just great. Gas tube length isn't an issue.
A midlength 14.5 barrel is on my list of things to get for sure. Everyone who has one says it works great. There's much more dwell time than an 11.5 inch commando barrel.
I just would NEVER consider a CMMG. Way too hit and miss in the QC department.
I have had three 14.5" midlengths. All have been 100% reliable.

I'd be all over that if it only had the factory FSB installed.:(
OK, CMMG no go and 14.5"barrel with midlength gastube good to go.

Didn’t a very prominent moderator here say it was a clue that people were going away from 14.5 middys do to problems ?
