The length of the rail will depend on your personal preference and the length of the barrel selected, you will need a handguard that is shorter than the barrel. Without knowing what type of gas block you currently have, we are not able to confirm if it will be compatible with this barrel. Please email us at TechSales@OpticsPlanet.com with your current gas block make/model and we will be glad to confirm fitment for your.
