No. I ran out of all my special order KAC length gas tubes.
I actually only went with this KAC length so I'd have a gas system that would work with a long since discontinued KAC URX integral flip up front sight.
The new "standard" in intermediate length, for lack of a better term, designed by Eric Kincel (head of R&D for BCM) and John Noveske (Noveske Rifle Works), works equally well and is of course much more readily available. It's only a fraction of an inch longer than the KAC.

Alright, thanks for the response.
I was looking at potentially utilizing kac's intermediate length for a dedicated suppressor host with extremely short dwell length. Noveske's iirc is roughly .4" longer and won't work for the length barrel I was looking to run.
Do you still have the specifications for the kac length? Like exact length to the gas port and length of the gas tube needed?
Don’t Criterion do a intermediate barrel? Pretty sure you can get one from CLE or Craddock too..
I don't think Criterion does.
I'm looking to do a 12.5 with KAC's intermediate length. Standard intermediate is too long for that application. I'd have to go 13.X with standard 12.5 with kac is similar in dwell length to 11.5 mid.
If KAC uppers weren't so difficult to find atm I'd just buy one and get it chopped and gas port opened. I'll probably just wait and do this. I refuse to overpay for things. I can buy them at like $2200 but I'm not going to do that.
Found a note on KAC intermediate overall length: 13.1875"

A number of years ago I had two NRA High Power A2s made. One by Compass Lake, the second by White Oak Precision. I shot them a bit, but then life happened, and I put them away for a long time. I recently gotten bit by the bug again, so I had the Compass Lake converted to a flat top with an Aero Precision Enchanced upper, a fully free floated AP handguard, a low profile gas block, a Geissele SSA-E, and a Vortex Viper PST GII 5-25. I'll likely toss a Magpul PRS G3 on at some point.
The White Oak is also getting the same treatment.

Appears to be a DI gun going by the gas block, gas tube, and gas tube retaining pin in the picture.

This is my first MSTN SuperLite build using V Seven billet upper/lower and rail. I am in danger of keeping this one. The bare rifle topped out at 5 LB 1.5 OZ. This was only possible using the Noveske HFCL Skinny 14.5" barrel (20.5 OZ) and Young Superlite bolt carrier, no longer made. V Seven titanium and aluminum everything, with TriggerTech competition trigger and Geissele ACH. Matt McLearn did his usual superlative pin and weld on the V Seven Furion brake. I'm still running the Vlor A5 recoil system, because it is worth the slight weight penalty. This rifle doesn't move when you shoot it. How about that way cool Scalarworks Aimpoint Micro mount? Waited a long time for those!
I have had my trigger tech diamond in my main lower for a couple years now. It is my go to setup, but I am not a high round count guy. I do a lot of groundhog hunting with my ar's, and they do get some range time. They also see plenty of dust, and I have noticed no problems.
Yeah it was used for an SPR upper (for sale btw) but I’m asking about how they hold up for high round count guns.

Really likes 855A1 and Hornady VMAX during barrel break in. SMK 77 and H4895 need a little work.

Yet another evolution. SWFA 1-6 went down so I grabbed a PST 1-6 on store credit. First outing was positive, its optically superior to the SWFA, illumination is definitely rainy day bright.
Yes, the 1-6x24 HD. The mag ring magically froze on me. Unknown as to how it happened, just went to dryfire one day and boom, frozen. Instead of waiting on a backorder (their whole line has been “backordered” for over a year), I cashed in store credit for the PST.

Ehh, I like the SWFA, I like the turrets and FFP better. The Vortex is simply better in the glass, FOV, and illumination departments.
To be fair, the PST 2 is a newer optic compared to the older, unchanged SWFA.
My Google-Fu eludes me. Who makes the M-LOK handstop? I want one.. Gorgeous build my friend!
Magpul?
Edit: Upon further inspection, I'd say it's not a Magpul that's been stippled.
