I've read about the 14.5",14.7", 16", 18" 20" & 24". but why not a 22" barrel? most of my hunting rifles have a 22" barrel. is there something wrong with a 22" barrel on an ar-15?
not as accurate, won't shoot as far,much slower bullet, the twist isn't right, what? I have a 24" ss, bull barrel & want to have it cut by ADCO down to a 22" & fluted. or should I just have it cut down to a 20". wife wants a night vision scope put on it with a vortex flash hider. can you believe that? thanks |

too front heavy. with fluting & barrel cut down, would be easier for wife to handle I'm in agreement with you. Though it may be 6oz for the cutoff it will have a noticeable effect back at the grip due to the moment it creates at such a great distance. I say flute it and get it cut to 18" or 20". You'll lose nothing and the gun will handle far better, IMO. ETA: Just take it on down to 18" and get it fluted as well - that will be a sweet setup. IMO 20" is the ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM an AR barrel should be for good handling and overall shootability, but 18" is better still. 22" is still too long. |
