What's your favorite barrel length for an AR ?

[ReservoirDawg10]

Depends on intended purpose. 10.5 -12.5 for a “working” rifle, 13.7-14.5 w/ a p&w muzzle device if you don't wanna go through the atf crap, but love my 22 incher with rifle+1 gas for long range work.

7.5............****s fire and is annoying as ****..........just like me.

I have not figured it out yet. I love all of them. The 10.3 is awesome for fast shooting up close between more than 1 target, the 20 inch is a recoiless system with a lot of punch. I think each barrel length is suited for a purpose and we fine tune the platform for that purpose. My opinion might change as I'm going to go to Talladega and see how each perform at the distances I want them to, then wash, rinse, repeat. I'd love for the 10.3 to recoil on par with the 20 inch and have full power down range and hold a 1 moa group out to the maximum effective range of the cartridge, but it wont happen. There is a balance, gotta pick the right balance point for your use.
