    The difference in velocity? The difference in length?

    Any idea if Noveske plans on a 14.5" middy in the N4 configuration??

    Velocity is just right out of a 14.5. I pick up a good amount of velocity over my 11.5" guns, but lose just a little compared to my 16".

    Most of my shooting is 220 yards or closer. But even when I get out to over 400 yards, the 14.5 is just fine.

    I also run my silencer on my 14.5, which to me is the optimal length for getting some powder to burn before the bullet passes through the can.

    Just seems to me that, for ~1" of barrel length, the extra 100fps is worth it.

    It could be.... depending on your needs. In a worst case scenario, I would need my 14.5 to frag with M193 ammo. It'll easily accomplish this inside of my realistic ranges of engagement. Velocity is always nice. I agree with that. But when I pick up a 16" AR it just feels so much longer.

    OK, I hear you. It's been a couple years since I held an M4 so maybe I've forgotten.

    Does any one know of a dealer who sells the Sabre 14.5 middy barrel w/o an upper?
