[QUOTE="budlight, post: 2639612, member: 2939"] I just looked the 20 inch SFAR and it appears that Ruger didn't do their home work :( They put on a mid length gas system. Not rifle length or even better yet rifle length plus 2 inches. Short gas tubes are just a pressure bleed off and they diminish FPS. It also means that the BCG/buffer tube weight gets beat up. I did some posts about the significant pressure differences from carbine, mid, and rifle length gas port holes. Another factor is gas port hole diameter. You want the longest tube or rod and barrels made with the smallest hole diameter. Some AR variants can only use service rifle "Low Pressure" rounds NOT full on 308 bolt rifle rounds. It's why I build my own and know what i'm getting [/QUOTE]
