1. Dust cover length? 4.3 is longer, and "squarer" with rail. 5.1 is government length
2. Overall length? 5.1 is longer, 5.1 is the barrel length. 5.1" barrel.
3. Outer barrel / inner barrel length? 5.1 is longer
4. Other internal differences? internally are mostly identical. The 4.3 mag is slightly short with a few rounds less capacity.
Other differences, the original 4.3 has right handed thumb safety only, 5.1 all comes with ambidextrous safety. 5.1 uses adjustable Bomar style sight, 4.3 has a copy of Novak style combat sight.
Thanks in advance.
