I've been seeing some pics of these lately and they interest me. Are these custom cut to size, or are they in production?

Are you talking about a 16" barrel with a mid length gas system and rifle front sight base.
I think what I've been seeing is a 16" barrel with rifle length gas system. At least the FSB was rifle length.

I guess they aren't reliable.
The FSB being out that far, and it being actually a rifle gas system are two different things. I've got some pictures of a project that can't be shown at this point, so I'll have to play tease for right now (sorry).
The midlength seems to be the best all around player, and a rifle length rail puts the sights out where they work best.

Adco has one. It probably wont come out lighter than a 16" with a 12" rail though.
I imagine that you've seen a 16" version of this.

Where the actual gas system is mid-length hidden underneath a rail with fixed front sight at rifle length.
I like mid-length gas, fixed front sights, long rails/handguards, and a longer sight radius is always great. But at what point does it just get excessive?
Defensive Edge/SLR15 commander has rifle length sight radius (not sure what length gas system). I recall you used to be able to get just the upper from Sully; guess you can give them a call.

Off-topic, but wow. They have this written on that page:
"The covered barrel is a plus, because if the raw barrel is touched to anything like a barricade/cover during the firing process, the harmonic vibrations of the barrel will be interupted, and the shot will not go where the shooter intends. A covered barrel does not get interrupted during the shot."
So I guess the non-free-floated handguard that the barrel is touching doesn't qualify as actually "touching."![]()
