I have missed every single one of these for four months now.
This is beyond not funny anymore....
Can anyone tell me what the advantage or disadvantage of a mid-length uppper is? I never really considered one until now when I need an extra uppper for a new build. Is the mid-length gas system better?
Thanks,
The differences have been discussed on various threads around here, though I am not aware of any one thread for pro/con discussion of middies, so I'll put this here.
Disadvantage(s):
One significant disadvantage of a mid-length system is that it effectively places a lower limit on barrel length. Beyond that, I am not aware of any other minuses, though I'm sure others here are far more knowledgeable on this topic.
Advantage(s):
The mid-length gas system produces lower pressures, along with all that that implies. As I understand it, this means higher reliability and lower wear on the internals. Lower felt recoil is one side effect. Another implication of this seems to be that my middie is a bit more forgiving of lower pressured ammo (this stands to reason, based on what I understand of the physics involved). Again, others are more qualified to discuss the particulars.
The thread about the BCM middie contains a decent amount of info, as well.

As much as I really want one I've decided to just give up on one of these for the time being. I'll sincerely try again in 6-9 months when sanity has taken hold again.
