>Also what should I put on my rifle first?

Wait for black friday, then buy an Aimpoint PRO for like $350 and throw it on your 6920

A proper trigger

A proper bolt

A proper barrel

A new rifle?

Carbine gas on 16" barrel is shit tier.

Sell the barrel and find a 14.5" colt barrel. Then put on a 1.5" flash hider (vortex industries) and when people asked if it's pinned, just say "Yeah, faggot, why?"

Sling. Nothing else.

Why is carbine length gas bad on a 16" barrel?

I have this set up and there has never been a problem with my AR, not any kind of cycling ftf fte issue of any kind.

I get the whole argument that it wears a little quicker, but I'm not shooting thousands of rounds a week (I wish I was).

Is this people with remorse for spending more money on a mid-length setup?

Despite all the companies that push out carbine gas on 16" barrels, it's really a not ideal design. The gun is over-gassed which causes unlocking of the bolt prematurely and more erosion on the gas port.

Even the 14.5" with a carbine is technically over-gassed but for reliability's sake and the military knowing it can logistically keep up, it's not a huge deal. Adding dwell time and in some cases, even larger gas ports (which make a sharp annoying recoil for ARs) is what companies started doing in the 90s during the AWB to make reliability trump every thing else.

Point is, out of all the configurations you can set up an AR in (cheaply as well I might add), 16" w/ carbine gas is least ideal.

Vurwappen blog has quite a few articles on this subject. There is a lot of good information out there.

Mid-length should not cost you anymore.

Colt 16" carbines are fine. They size the port and use an H buffer in the 6920 to compensate for the increased dwell time.

source on the gas port size being different? i cant find anything that says definitely one way or the other.

There is nothing wrong with Colt bolts.
