FAQ

 

How do I know which length system to buy?                                           Our system comes in 4 lengths: pistol, carbine, midlength, and rifle. The most common listed measurements for these are: pistol – 4”, carbine – 7”, midlength – 9”, and rifle – 12”. These measurements can be found by measuring the distance between the front of the upper receiver and the shoulder where the gas block sits. These measurements are not exact but are rounded to the nearest inch for ease of terminology and for quad rail compatibilty. You can get a more accurate measurement by measuring the barrel extention in the upper receiver and the back of the gas block, where the shoulder starts on the barrel.
