I can tell you from first hand experience that a built .30 luger carbine will not function with a 16" barrel(too heavy) but will with the 12" barrel; however, a 16" 9mm barrel on the same lower will function as it should. So with that info and a cup of coffee you can theorize some more.  |
Thanks Don for your input, I was guessing somewhere around 11-12 inches.
