 Help me decide on the barrel length for my new precision AR build.  I had intended

on using a 24" but now I'm not sure.  Any thoughts on a 22"?  JP seems to be the only

one offering this length, but I will probably have the barrel made by Shilen so I'm sure

they could make me one.  I think 20" will look too short with my JP rifle length

handguard.  What are your thoughts?

What distance do you plan on shooting?

Out to 600 Yds.

600 yards? 18"

My precision bolt guns don't have any barrels over 20" ant they shoot well out to 1,000.  There may be other opinions, but 18-20" should be plenty of barrel length.

I think 20" will look too short ...


HEY? WHO ARE YOU CALLING "SHORT"?



TWO OVERLY-SENSITIVE 20" RIGS THAT TORE UP THE 'DOGS ON A RECENT SAFARI.

I think the 18" balances a little better with a callapsible stock.

I have a MagPul PRS.  Its kinda on the heavy side so it think it should balance pretty

well with the 20".
