And there are a lot of variables from brand to brand. According to Walt Krulek ( IIRC ) , Armalite pioneered the midlength to save money on warranty work.
I have seen pictures of the comparative wear on parts from a 20 inch standard rifle , a 16 inch middy , and a 14.5 (?) carbine. The pic's impressed me. I couldn't find a link now to save my life -- and who knows if it was honest test or barfcom recycled BS?
