This may be a silly question but are there any potential issues with running a steel CH in an AR upper?

You're running a steel bolt carrier in that same AR upper, right?

Hoplophile,
Hey, I warned you it might be a stupid question!

Thinking about going with a low-profile gas block and a longer rail now. What do you guys think about a rifle length rail (12") with a 16" barrel? How does it balance? Need some insperational pics

That is one of the most popular builds that I do.

good idea...I'm considering pulling my SPR barrel to do the same after reading this http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.htm...f=219&t=152797

edited to add that I'm not considering it...gonna do it but hate to pull the barrel and wait on a new one...want to buy the new barrel then sell the old one but cash is tight right now

Another option could be the Daniel Defense 12" FSPM, which allows you to use the original FSB on your 16" midlength barrel. It comes in either the M4 or Lite Rail style (lite rail goes back and meets with A3 upper rail; M4 style does not). They're a bit pricey, but saves the trouble of having to change the gas block.
