As I recall this was discussed in the past and the final answer was that those threads are gone for good.

I even have a spicier opinion; I don’t even think that a carbine gas would hamper you. I like mid and rifle (omg a rifle length is the pepsi challenge winner) but really a carbine gas isn’t like a 308 or anything and I mess with my SR25 carbines.
I just think they “hide” better under a mid or rifle length tube.
Wouldn’t say it is my total first choice but nothing I would dismiss.
Also load up on 20rders. I almost exclusively get those now. Especially if all you really wanna do is bench or prone shoot.
I agree with the 16" barrel. I don't want a pinned/welded muzzle device because it limits how I can change the rifle. I don't feel like the little bit of length you save is worth the trade. I also agree with your comment about a carbine gas system. With proper gas port sizing it doesn't matter as much what your gas system length is.
