[QUOTE="sambo3006, post: 484153, member: 2740"] I know what you mean about the 24" bull barrel being muzzle heavy. I bought one and never shot it, decided to go 20". I checked into having the barrel cut down to 20" but nobody local wanted to do it for less than about $150! I ended up selling it and buying a 20" bull upper. I can't speak to the velocity difference but I can say that the 20" barrel balances much better. I don't think you would have any issues with the gas block going down to 20" as I think they are in the same spot as the 24" barrel. You could go down to 22" or 21" and improve your balance without losing as much velocity. Food for thought. [/QUOTE]
