Thank you for clearing that up. That asked - I have no interest in them anymore either. But I'd rather it be asked now, than repeated later. I'll take the bashing for introducing them to the thread.

The only variation I'm allowing as of right now is for manufacturers that simply do not make a 16" barrel with carbine-length gas system and they may use their standard model (there will be notes in the Chart to who these manufacturers are). Rifles with full rail systems, stainless barrels, aftermarket stocks as standard, re-designed bolts and barrel extensions, proprietary parts, etc. are not covered herein. Which doesn't mean that I might not use the Chart as a guideline to begin to evaluate these other offerings, but only as a basis for the article or conversation.
To the underlined quote:
Does that include only midlength, or otherwise ''enhanced'' guns?
The reason I ask, is because I can't think of a company who produces 16.1'' barrelled guns with midlength system - that doesn't also have a CAR gas system available. And if they don't, then they usually have aftermarket stocks as standard, proprietary parts, and full rail systems, which would exclude them from your chart.
We miss you, AC.
We miss you, ToddG.
