Re: Pistol Ar-15 barrel
Normally the pistol AR uses a shorter gas system. It is even shorter than the carbine system. I am sure the carbine system could be made to work with the shorter dwell time post gas port.

Re: Pistol Ar-15 barrel
yea i thought that they were but would the carbine system work on a 10.5 or would i need to do anything to it? An if so what would it be?

Re: Pistol Ar-15 barrel
The gas port would have to opened up. On a 16" barrel your gas port should be about 0.063" with CAR gas sys. On a 10.5" you'll need about a 0.093" port.
