Why wouldn't it?

I had a custom Noveske 16" barrel with an intermediate length gas system. Kind of a similar combination as running a 14.5" with a mid.

The Noveske/Vltor intermediate length gas system places the gas port 11.5" from the standing face of the receiver. This is within a fraction of an inch of the KAC gas system on the SR15, which uses a 16" barrel. The KAC intermediate system uses a SR25 gas tube.

This has been addressed in more current threads on this site.
