i guess i was just wondering if there was enough barrel after the gas port to work good...
apparently a non-issue...
my 16 middy cycles ANYTHING. i used some real fast powder H4198 i think...and there was a definitive delay between firing and the bolt creeping it's way back to strip another round, but it worked.
a 14.5 middy might be interesting...
that noveske 13.7 (afghan?) with the pig brake on it is kinda neat too.
There really is plenty of barrel. I'd be quite comfortable with the dwell time on a 14.5 middy.

Is not a Noveske Afghan a "middy"?

The Afghan is a 14.5" SS middy barrel, the Infidel is their 13.7" middy barrel.
I don't see where they list the "Infidel" anymore (at least not a complete rifle)... Wonder why?
I too had thought about the dwell time being an issue with not enough barrel left over past the gas block, but hell, they make 10.5" and 12" guns run well with the right tweaking... It would seem Noveske wouldn't hang his reputation on something that doesn't work.

The infidel is still listed as a complete VIS upper or a VIS rifle, I forget which, but I just saw it on the web page.
What is the point of a 14.5? I don't get it...
