I have shot enough to know that barrel length affects accuracy, but would anyone care to say how much difference they think would be between a 16" barreled AR and a 14.5"??
I can see the shorter being alot faster for CQB, and in those cases, accuracy is not the same as nailing a target at 200 yds..
What about a 24" bull barrel AR? Would they (with the light .223) be any good for sniping anything but ground squirrels?

I shot the M14 and M25 in the military, and was deadly out to 900 yds.. When it comes to long range stuff, I think I would be best getting an AR10. But since I am building another AR15, I am having trouble deciding on barrel length..
