[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1361265, member: 229"] One thing to consider is what your twist-rate is and who made the barrel. 1/9 twist-rates start to do funny things when you get them too short (seems to be different with each barrel-manufacturer). Also, if the barrel isn't a decent quality barrel, you might notice some differences in accuracy at 14.5" over 16" (or you might decide that its just not worth it for the cost of machining when you can sell your barrel and pick up a 14.5" for just a little more).
