[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 2684436, member: 7157"] I understand the legalities involved in considering the MD as part of the OAL of the barrel; I was asking more about the practical aspects of the threaded portion of the barrel affecting the placement of the MD. As in, how far back will the MD sit on the barrel once it's threaded onto the latter? 1/4 inch? 1/2 inch? And at what point above the barrel will a free-float HG be mounted? Bottom line, how far forward will, say, a 9" HG extend over a 10.5" barrel - will it actually stop 1.5" from the end of the barrel, in which case the MD might thread back to about 1" from the forward edge of the HG? Or is this a case of which manufacturers are involved, with some variation in the lengths and spatial relationships of the barrel / MD / HG, (i.e., depends on who you ask?) [/QUOTE]
