Dan,

Sorry, forgot to say: the Type C barrel had a short counterweight at the muzzle, combined with either a mid-barrel counterweight or fume extractor. It was bored in the barrel for the gas ports, but not necessarily fitted with the fume extractor. If fitted with the mid-barrel counterweight, the gas ports were fitted with threaded plugs. The Type C was sort of a Type A and B all rolled into one.

Type A counterweight (muzzle), to be balanced, had an additional length added to the counterweight tube.

Mike C
