AR10 Build, Barrel and parts questions?? was created by USNRigger
Im working my AR10 build that i have been slowly throwing parts in a box and now ready to order in the remaining ones.

I want to do a 16" upper with a Daniel Defense 9.0 Lite Rail and then have a PRI front flip up sight gas black. The main question comes down to barrel right now. With all the differant ones and it seems they are mixing gas system lengths between the Armalite AR10 lengths and standard AR15/LR308 onces. On Daniels website they state that the 9.0 Lite rail measures 9.5" compared to the standard AR15 Lite rail that measures 9" So, what gas length do i need to get the PRI flip up front gas block to work? will both the Armalite AR10 Carbine and DPMS/AR15 Midlength work? From what ive found this is the total lengths for the gas tubes for the each one (Armalite AR10 Carbine 11-11/16" vs AR15/LR308 Midlength 11-3/4") As the barrel im going to use is a SS medium weight probably around .93" under the handguards and .73" forward of the gas block seat i have a few options here, and just basically need to know for sure so i can get the info before i purchase the barrel and my guy profiles and set the gas block seat up. Any info should help or a point to a website or post that would get me in the right direction

Thanks

Your best bet would be to contact DD themselves with your questions about which rail length would be best for your project. They're pretty friendly and knowledgeable folks.
