Keeping a M4gery over 30" OAL

[ar15barrels]

Does anyone know if the 14.5" bbl is long enough to be replaced with a different flash hider and maintain it's bbl length?

I intend to move out of CA when I graduate and I'll probably replace the phantom devise with an extended A2 flash hider. Is 14.5 enough bbl for a gunsmith to work with or will I end up with a shorter bbl if I get the flash hider replaced?

Any of the YHM phantoms, a Smith Vortex or a Sabre Extended A2 will get you past 16" once permanent attached to a 14.5" barrel.

Is that a 10 rd. P-mag? Is there such a thing?

Yes it is.
I only know because I'm the guy that made it.

This CMMG 14.5" with a Phantom FH on a standard 6 position collapsible stock is 31" fully collapsed.

Randall over at ar15barrels made it for me. Even modified, that PMAG is awesome. Thanks again, Randall.

My Noveske N4 is 14.5=16 with a Smith Vortex. It's 31" with the buttstock collapsed.

Damn, your post count grew faaaaast, Randall!

25-40 posts a day will do that.
I did 119 posts on thursday last week between midnight and midnight just to see how many I could do in a day.

My post-fu is weak.

Thought this might be helpful an AAC suppressor mount works too

I have a VLTOR Collapsible and a 14.5" barrel with a Smith Vortex. It measures over 30".

I don't know why anyone hasn't brought up the Vortex. It's by far the top flash hider, if that's the way you want to go.

The 30" will be met with any mil-spec carbine buffer tube and a 16" equivalent barrel length.

+1, as long as your barrel is 16" (including perm muzzle device), even just with the mil-spec CAR buffer tube, it would be over 30".

Things I dont like about the vortex
-the bottom is not closed so it kicks up dust
-not as sturdy, your 4 prong can easily turn into a 3 prong if you drop your rifle
-its pretty long for a FH

I have the exact setup of the original picture you posted using a CMMG 14.7" barrel.... My favorite rifle I have, works great, looks just like the picture except I don't have a 10/30 magazine for it, just a regular 10 round Bushie.

My Noveske N4 is 14.5=16 with a Smith Vortex. It's 31" with the buttstock collapsed.

Mine will be a similar build. Except, i will use the M93B stock. Hopefully itll still pull 30+ inches!
