Hey all,
need some help with my next build. Right now I'm looking at a 6.8 upper from https://www.blackstonearms.com/category-s/100.htm With a 16" barrel and adjustable gas block, what length rail should I go with? Choices are 11, 13.7, and 15". Going to be mostly a bench rest and hunting gun, but also has to support a suppressor. 11" would keep the gas block accessible, but I would prefer a longer rail. I asked them if they can source the 12" m-lok rail, as I think that would be a happy compromise. Or should I just get the 13.7 (designed for 14.5" barrel I know) and find a longer allen wrench? pictures of similar builds would be greatly appreciated!
thanks,
Dave
