13.9” barrels and Silencerco ASR brake

Has anyone but an ASR brake on a 13.9” barrel and made it to 16” of barrel length? I asked Silencerco for the dimensions of the brake but they didn’t share them with me. Alternatively, does anybody have a brake that they haven’t installed that they could measure for me?

I’ve got an Aero Precision 8” barrel with a SilencerCo Bravo ASR muzzle brake installed. I just dropped a dowel down the barrel onto the closed bolt face, it measures 9 7/8”. I haven’t measured the barrel on its own. The ASR brake measures 2 3/8”, measuring it installed. It’s on there with Rocksett, so it’s not going anywhere. Good luck with your research, let me know if there are any other questions I can answer.

Shoot, that's what I was afraid of. It looks like I'll have to go with a 14.5" barrel then. Thanks for the help and quick response.
