    Also, the iron sight radius is longer aiding accuracy in that regard as well.
    Thank you, I had not considered that.

    In a nutshell, what do you like better about the middy, and if it's the cat's pajamas, why isn't it the USGI configuration?

    (I think I understand in principle why the shorter system would have a harsher action, but I would also think that it could be engineered to work just fine at any length if you were to change the diameters of tubing, mass of components, etc. It's hard for me to imagine the M4 configuration being adopted so universally by the military if the basic engineering wasn't pretty much worked out. Of course I'm talking completely out of ignorance . . . )
    The carbine length gas system was designed for barrels shorter than 16''. Problem is, we are restricted to that length unless you pay for the stamp.
