Sometime ago I was told that the Noveske KX3 should not be run a a longer than 11.5" barrel. I am running a 14.5" so I switched to a Smith Vortex. I finally got around to calling Noveske about this and the person I spoke with there said it would not be a problem with the KX3 on a 14.5/16" barrel so I put it back on. I shot a tactical match today and someone there told me it would damage the weapon on a longer than 11.5" barrels. Now I am totally confused---I ran it for the match and it really doesn't feel any different than the Smith. Anyone have insight on this?? What would I damage??

Thanks
