Well, if anyone saw my last post, I'm going to be picking up a Century Arms C15 Sporter (AR-15) in exchange for my base model Ruger Mini-14.
The only thing I detest about that rifle is the barrel/handguard length. My plan is to swap over to a 16" barrel and--subsequently--a shorter handguard.
My question is...when you swap out barrels, do you also have to change to a shorter gas tube? Also, any other tips you guys could offer for the swap? Anything to watch out for? I did a bunch of reading and it seems easy enough, but I always like to hear what others have to say.
Lastlly, if anyone has a barrel for sale, let me know
