Our cars are just too small. Put a full console, camera, control box, tethered mic, and laptop in an Explorer and a 16” gun feels like a musket. Need to get on the Marshals good side and get you a decked out F150.

Exactly which gas block will be used? Just for clarification on the longer rail and some ideas, this gun is close to what Blue was suggesting. It's got a dimpled low profile gas block under the 15" MI hand guard. It's a Sionics 16" pencil barrel with mid gas and if you look close, you can see the gas block is behind the light. Now picture an exposed railed gas block on the same mid gassed barrel and your rail must now be behind the gas block. That's gonna leave 8" of exposed barrel and flash hider and only 9" of rail space to mount a light and your support hand. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/LXHtNN1Y/172-E7-C94-34-D6-40-A2-9-D28-32398-D3-DC62-C.jpg) Yes there are other options for a light but a longer hand guard just makes the most sense. I like that a lot.

My favorite vehicle rifle; 14.7" barrel. Light enough, & handy enough. YMMV MM ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/3F6ch6W.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/ISjmpSc.jpg)

Butch, are you open to a few suggestions or are the parts already ordered? Sure! 16" at the max length. Even those are hard to handle getting in and out of a car. The lighter the profile the better. It'll be carried a LOT more than shot.. This ^^^. shave as much weight as possible and then shave some more. I run a mid-gas 14.5 pencil profile Hanson, presma brake with blast shield, mft minimalist stock, 14" rail and a light as far out as I can get. Pin that gas block and you are golden.
Hunt hard, kill clean, waste nothing and offer no apologies.
