Frequently asked questions

What gas tube length pairs with a 13.7-inch barrel?

A 13.7-inch barrel typically uses a mid-length gas tube. Verify your upper receiver's gas port location and consult your build manual. Our staff can walk through gas system matching when you visit.

Does this barrel work with standard AR-15 upper receivers?

Yes. The 5.56 NATO chamber and .625-inch diameter are industry-standard. Ensure your upper receiver uses a mid-length gas system to avoid overgassing or short-stroking issues.
