[QUOTE="jpd676, post: 1888373, member: 27751"] There is nothing wrong, per say, with a short barrel. Powders are designed with a specific burn rate for launching certain weighted bullets and need a certain lenghth tube to do that. If you use a slow powder in a short barrel you get less velocity and a large muzzle blast. Depending on the caliber, the blast can be dangerous for your suppressor (overpressure) if you use one. If you are being realistic with what you want, you can probably get that out of your build. You may have a hard time selling a 16" PRC if you ever want to. By the way, I think buying a trued action from NSS and doing a build is a good way to go. I wanted a 20" POF ar-10 but got a screaming deal on a 16". It has been an amazing shooter and I'm glad I have it. Shorter barrels can be stiff and give good accuracy. [/QUOTE]
