Wanting to build a 14.5 AR and pin and weld a Griffin MD on so I can still use a suppressor. After doing some thinking, I thought the easiest thing to do might be to buy a 16" barrel and have it turned down to 14.5" and have the smith then pin and weld the MD, after of course the gas block is put on. I was wondering if I would have to mess with gas port diameters, I believe I read that 14.5 mid lengths have roughly the same gas port as a 16 mid length. My other option would be to contact a manufacturer and have them do all this for me, if that's even possible.
I'm open to ideas, thanks.
