    I went ahead and checked... Centurion has 14.5" middys in stock.
    They also have a taper pinned gas block option/package.

    Thanks for all the input. Part of my decision was based on the fact that BCM is out of stoke on their 14.5" Mids. Thanks for pointing out the other options that I did not know about.

    one advantage to getting a barrel cut, is you can have them cut it to 14.7, and be able to use almost any flash hider you want, rather than being limited to the long ones.

    Good point! I was actually considering that as well seeing as how I could then use my current standard flash hider.

    Good point on the 14.7. Didnt think of that.
    BTW, when they cut these down, do they re-park just the affected part or strip and re-park the whole barrel? What happens when they re-crown, do they just park it rather than chrome it like a factory crown?

    you can have them strip ad re-park, obviously, but a good cold-blue app is good enough, and doesn't cost an extra $125 or so

    here's cold-blue on a cut/re-thread- notice how the first 1/16th of the barrel OD is a slightly different huge than the rest of the barrel.. and the shoulder and threads are also blue.

    don't ask me about the turn down on the thread-shoulder.. i dont know whats up with that.
