Find out if your barrel is carbine, rifle, pistol length etc. they don’t come with gas tubes so you have to buy it separately. And it is a straight tube. However the question is how long your hand guard is, and from your gas block journal. My sig was a carbine length, and a 13.5 inch hand guard. I ordered the 4.3 inch one and still couldn’t easily adjust the gas system. So I ended up getting a 13 inch hand guard. Hope this helps.

If you’re asking which adjustment knob length to pick, this is based on the gas system length(pistol, carbine, rifle, etc.) compared to the length of your handguard. Riflespeed has a calculator on their site that will tell you which model(s) will work for your build
