I'm thinking of ordering a barrel from Lilja..unfortunately I missed the group buy..But I got 2 questions..
Im split between the (18.88")319 and the 318 countour and the same coutours with rifle length gas...
I guess the first question is a barrel with .825 diameter under the handguard vs the .650...any drawbacks or advantages? besides weight...I know the thinner countour would heat up faster but any loss of accuracy? etc...?
and the next question is the mid vs. rifle length gas system... but would there be reasons people would prefer mid for 18,19" rather than rifle? I'm new to the 6.5 and I assume as long as the gas port is appropriately sized, a rifle would be just as reliable? what am I missing?
