[QUOTE="JEVapa, post: 3909687, member: 41176"] IMO, if I was making/buying a rifle, the shortest I would go is 14.5". No shorter, unless you absolutely have to say that you have a shorter barrel that's pinned and welded to be 16". You don't get anything out of it except reduced velocity, energy, and accuracy. If I am required by law to have a 16" barreled rifle, (without paying special privilege tax) then my purpose is to have a 16" max length including MD. I prefer 16" barrels but they become 18" with an MD, except for one I have. (It has a one-off MD that is .5" longer than the barrel) My only exception would be an XM177E1 - 11.5" barrel with the 4.5" moderator...that's what they originally were. Anything shorter and I'll just do a pistol to get the advantage of the size and handling. [/QUOTE]
