Are they any good? I’ve found a couple that look pretty but not sure if they shoot or feed as good as they look. Any experience, mainly rifle length .300 BO and 6.5 Grendel
Like the looks! In 300B0 and some may disagree with me but carbine length in my opinion is max length. My son bought a rifle length barrel and had cycle issues from the get go. Increasing the gas port size alleviated the issue except reduced loads wouldn't cycle. It wasn't a BC barrel don't remember the brand. I would rather be over gassed than under. You can always install adjustable gas block to reduce but trying to get more sometimes can be a issue.This is the one I’m looking at, for the price and no b****** given probably order it.
I’ve never ran a carbine length gas system on 300, always pistol but of course barrels where for pistols.

Yeah I’ve had some guys use rifle length gas systems, not sure even where they got the barrels, but they take a lot of fine tuning to run right.Like the looks!
