The carbine gas may be "more reliable" than the middy since the carbine gas is more positive (and more violent) than longer gas systems on the shorter barrels.
I'm currently carrying an 18" barrel rifle gassed AR that very likely won't work in extreme cold since it's just above minimum function now. When it gets around zero, I'll switch to the carbine gassed 16" cause it never fails-even when wet, snowy, frozen or whatever.
I saw a test done by Crane earlier this year (it'll be last year in about 2 hours!) that showed the midlength having more rounds between stoppages in low temperature testing than the carbine length they compared it to. Have you experienced your rifle length gassed gun having problems in cold temps?
