Gas tube length - 03/16/16 12:18 AM

I am waiting on my form 1 to be approved. I have a 10.3" DD barrel and I'm not sure what length tube to get. Carbine length? Once I get that figured I will order that, gas block and hand guard.

Depends on the location of the gas port. Could be carbine or pistol on a 10.3

You need to look at the specifications for the barrel. The description should say if its carbine or pistol length gas system.
