Mid-length gas system is softer shooting.

hahaha no, that internet nonsense has be refuted by crane. it's a placebo effect. your buffer and spring set up will do far more to soften your felt recoil than unnoticeable differences in dwell time here. what you do get is a immaterial reduction is wear which Crane also cited

to the question, the gas port is opened on these so you get the longer gas system/dwell time but more gas for greater reliability

my only regret is chopping a 16" a year vs waiting....well waiting blows so win win:)

Can you clue me in on the crane testing? All I can find is this 2018 article on soldier systems. Have they released new findings?

How would a factory 12.5” compare to a chopped 16” roof top special to 12.5” by DWilson. Just wondering if anyone has tested them and if there is a difference in maybe accuracy?

fakeredditor@reddit

There won't be an intrinsic reason for a chopped 16 to be more or less accurate than a factory 12.5. It will just vary randomly from barrel to barrel.

A native 16 may have a slightly smaller gas port than a native 12.5 so you might get a little backpressure with a chopped 16. So if you're looking for something to be mostly/entirely suppresses, a chopped 16 is probably the way to go.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t there a concern with the chrome lining flaking when you do a barrel chop?

I had D wilson cut my 16 and no issues whatsoever. use a reputable shop

CommunalJellyRoll@reddit

Yes if you don’t flake from chopping you flake from machining most times. That being said if it is done with no flaking which is possible. I have a chopped chrome barrel that ran on a 16 lower for decades and it flaked near the gas port before the cut portion.

Ok_Form_2049@reddit

Good point. Im no gunsmith. Just a random 3rd party, but wouldn’t the chrome flaking near the muzzle be of little consequence assuming the chrome lining WOULD flake?

great post

I'm an LMT fan with many of their rifles but would much rather convert a 12.5 barrel in this case. Almost anything else on the market will be more accurate and lighter.

Guess I should have waited to post as these are listed $30 cheaper and about $25 cheaper total after the discount than my last post. Still great prices all around on these.
