    I thought it sounded pretty good until I realized it was a mid length gas system.

    Price is still excellent. Especially if they prove to be match quality. I do appreciate the 100% Cdn aspect.

    Ya. I'm surprised it's mid length on an 18.6" barrel. Why not go rifle length?

    These look interesting. Any chance of non-fluted barrels becoming available?
    It's not denial. I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

    I was just wondering, is there an issue with the mid-length gas system as opposed to the carbine length system?

    There is nothing wrong with the mid length gas system. It reliably cycles more loads than the rifle length, has an insignificant increase in recoil.

    No issues. They’ll all work. Normally less recoil with the longer systems. I’d prefer a rifle length gas system for an 18.5”.

    Anyone tested the accuracy on one of these yet?

    Correct........that is if the gas port is sized accordingly with the longer dwell time. I have an 18.6” MR 223 in mid length which is just fine. If you change your uppers onto a particular lower it’s preferable to have them all in the identical gas system to match the buffer tube and spring setup. Altering the gas length you may have timing issues which will require buffer/spring changes.
