Hey gents, sorry for all the questions as of late... I just don't want to get to far in and have to start over on my build...
I am putting together an AR and came across a very nice deal, basically couldn't pass it up even though it wasnt exactly what I wanted...
It went kind of like this...
New (no box) so I cant return the EL (see below)
Spikes Lower
Vltor MUR-1
Vltor Casv-el
$200.00 bucks...
With that said... the EL was not my choice in terms of rails system as I personally liked the casv-m... but, for the money, it made no sense not to get it.
I am basically putting together a run and gun, HD, type platform but, I do often times get wrapped up in aesthetics (don't kill me for saying that). Long range shooting is not what this will be used for... I aleady have a very nice Compass Lake that is just a tac-driver!
So... with all that said, here is my issues/dilemma... I want a 16" Barrel, not a 14"... specifically I like the White Oak 16". I also want to go with a mid-gas system and would prefer to put the ARMS #41-B Folding Front Sight with Gas Block on it.
Here is the link to the barrel (thoughts on this)? I hear great things!

My questions is since I know that the EL is made for more of a carbine gas system and 14" barrel will this work?
I guess, in the worst case scenario, I will sell the EL for under retail and get the casv-m... or I can find a 14" barrel and get a carbine gas system...
BTW, even though I have read a lot of recommendations for skipping out on the casv systems... that is the look I want.
So... will what I laid out work (and look correct) or would you all advise me to do something else?
Thanks and looking forward to your replies!
