What size for a 5.5in 55,6 ar pistol

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Armando R., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on March 17, 2021

That completely depends on your barrel. You need to make sure you are confirming the details of your barrel before buying any gas system components as the gas tube and gas block are specific to the barrel specifications.

Joel, guest, from NY, United States, asked on February 22, 2021

Just bought the SigM400 .300BLK barrel, should i order mid length or carbine gas tube?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Armando R., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on March 17, 2021

You need to confirm what gas system length that barrel uses. If its 300 Blackout, it likely uses a pistol length gas tube, but it is dependent on the barrel itself. You will need to confirm this specification or you can email us with the exact part number or link and we can try to confirm.
