Everyone I know or have seen do a video on them, building or reviewing, has said that they get better results with the pistol length gas tube vs the carbine length one, which is the exact opposite from a 10,5" pistol or SBR in 5.56x45mm. I've actually seen full length carbines with 16" barrels use a pistol length gas tube with .300 AAC.

I will confirm that. Mine was built with a pistol gas tube and a Nitride coated barrell and a pistol buffer tube from Phase 5
