I was not aware that the Roscoe 16" has a rifle length gas system. That's, IMO, too long of a gas system for 16". The 16" ARC's I'm familiar with are mid length (I have 1). 18" rifle length, ok.
Roscoe is a budget barrel, but I would suggest you spend a bit more for a better quality barrel, and economize on other parts. Barrel, trigger and optics - put the $$ into these pieces, they are the key to a good-shooting system. Having built several grendel and 6 Arc systems, this is the advice I give others who are going to follow the build path... which is a good path, but you should put some $$ into these pieces. Otherwise you'll spend all that "saved" money in bullets, powder, range trips- gas and time, so it's no savings to scrimp there.
