I read a comment in another thread here that has me thinking.
My next AR added to the stable was going to be a 14.5" LW Middy w/ a permed muzzle device to bring it up to 16". It's going to take over for my current training mule, so it'll see the majority of my round count.
Is there any reason to stick with a 16" middy for reliability reasons?
The small increase in velocity and inter-changeability of muzzle devices is not a concern for me with this build.
