    I wouldnt be either, but I think it is safe to say that given the choice for a new one, all of us would take a mid length system for a 16" barrel.

    I have read a lot about the advantages on 16 inch barrels, but what about middys on 14-inch barreled weapons?
    Thanks.

    Then you'd have the opposites of the problems caused by using a carbine-length gas system on a 16" barrel.

I read about advantages of the mid-length system, but would I benefit from it? I can probably sell current barrel to offset the cost and go with a BCM mid length barrel with 1/7 twist.

    My rifle is all apart as I install TRX Extreme rail, so it would be no big deal to put in a different barrel at this time.
    i had the same exact thing i sold my whole upper and got the bcm middy with the mpi auto bcg and im glad i did it and keep your trx rail for the middy if its 9in or longer Middys rock
