    If its <$100 I'd allow 2 weeks. Note however that the postage will add up. Looking at my recent bills buying under $100USd means the postage is a big % of the final bill. So I am going to go for just under $300US per order so its under $00NZ and be prepared to wait for the parts (in which case 4~6weeks).

    There is one on TM dunno if it would suit you, its Gunworks selling it, so should be OK,

    AR15 .750" low profile Gas Block | Trade Me

    Ask them if they can drill it to make it adjustable?

    What are the shipping costs generally? My gas block was $60 and that's all I've ordered. No shipping cost was given

    Hmm thoughts on "slapping" a rifle length gas system (20inch barrel) upper onto a M4 ex-16inch carbine lower? So is it likely that the gentler gas impulse will cause issues like a short stroke? Would there be an "easy fix" like swapping out the buffer for a lighter one?

    Make sure the feed ramp cuts in the receiver match the feed ramp cuts on the barrel extension.

    It'll be fine. A carbine buffer is already the lightest buffer. The Canadian C7A2 uses a rifle length gas system with a carbine receiver extension and H2 buffer.

    Looking at my Brownells receipts for something close, the best I can see is I got 4 x 5rnd brownells mags for $47US and the shipping was $17US. Worked out after USD/NZD exchange and CC charges at $85NZD for 4 mags, $22 each isnt bad me thinks.
