I haven’t done any heavy wrench work on a black rifle since the days we only had one model (the M16A1E1). However, I doubt that the 2 inch difference between the barrel lengths would make any “appreciable” difference in available gas pressure or volume.

The two inches does effect dwelt time ... which od course effects the pressure to move the bolt and carrier.
