I have an LMT lower sitting around all by its lonesome.
I already have a Noveske N4 Light 14.5 setup and I really like the weight and how it feels.
I am trying to decide if I should go with another 14.5 or go with 16".
Thoughts???

The longer I own them, the more I resent the way a pinned 14.5" barrel limits the configuration of my rifles. But I like to tinker. If you don't foresee a need to reconfigure your rifle and are married to the idea of having a barrel just barely over the legal limit for non-NFA config, go for the 14.5".
If you're going to go 16" use a mid-length gas system. That said I was "brought up" on M4s in the Army so to me the only thing that looks "right" is a 14.5". I too like how a 14.5" handles and the ballance, but I would say if you've already got a N4 then why not go that little bit extra and drop the $200 and get an SBR? If you like a 14.5 than you will love a 10.5, trust me.![]()
I have an N4 carbine and an N4 lite recce upper. Love 'em both. But if ya got either one, for a second, I'd look to an 18" SPR.

cant have sbr's in my state.
Dont know much about what the 18" offers besides added length which gives me longer shooting distance.
WHat else?? What weight ammo is recommended for that length...
Well, in my case thus far, I don't even want to consider dealing with NFA issues. So I think longer vs shorter. My N4's are sick accurate and with a nice carbine in hand, I'd be tempted set up a precision SPR upper with nice optics to play long range games. Noveske's are 1:7 so the ammo choices are pretty much the same I should think. The difference would not be great I suppose.

I'm thinking..........BCM!! Love mine. Best bang for the buck right now. Super quality and customer support. Refer to THE CHART and you can't go wrong.
YMMV but mine doesn't!
^ Like he said - how about a BCM middie??

If we are being honest with ourselves, very few will notice a difference in a 14.5" vs 16". What ranges are you shooting at? What twist barrel are you looking at? Type of load will also determine what works well for what length. Maybe you can tell us more about what your use for this rifle will be.
