You some kinda blue foot booby bigot or somp'n?
Thank you all for your responses. I don't want to pay for this covid 19 prices but for starts will like something out of the box. I was thinking on an AR 9 (ammo maybe more accessible?) But still trying to figure it out. If anyone knows a nice LGS (not for price but treatment) that can suggest will be appreciated.
All this 12.5” mid length talk that i’ve read here and elsewhere has me worried.
I’m building two 12.5” uppers and the one I bought in 6.8spc has a mid length gas system. I just ordered the gas block which was the last piece i needed for the 6.8spc. As soon as it comes in I’ll head out to the range and see how it works.
I think I have some 6.8 gauges out in Hagerstown. It’s been quite the build
12.5 with carbine gas for 556 will be fine. I have a 12.5" 556 with carbine gas and it runs just fine.Sorry, two different 12.5” builds. One is a 6.8 with a mid length and the other is 556 with a carbine gas system.
Fulton Armory manufactures high-end AR-15s. Their factory is located in Savage, MD. Unfortunately, they don't have a brick and mortar showroom but you can browse their inventory online for complete rifles or build-your-own parts. And of course they can answer your questions about laws pertaining to AR-15 ownership in Maryland.
I wouldn't. They are basic mil-spec with some different handrails. Nothing wrong with them, but certainly not high end.Would everyone consider Fulton Armory a higher end manufacturer?
Not throwing shade, just don't have any experience with their builds.

I prefer the extra dwell time from carbine gas on a 12.5" 556 due to the variances in ammo. Make it run on almost anything out there.I think the consensus is that you can run either mid or carbine length gas system on a 12.5" 5.56 barrel. It has been pointed out; a middy on a (5.56) 12.5" is no worse than a carbine length on a (5.56) 10.5" in terms of dwell time.
[EDIT] That being said, given a choice, I would go with a carbine length gas system in a 12.5" 5.56 barrel
