AR 204 Ruger w/ 16" bull barrel ?

Lazy D · January 4, 2007, 06:10 PM

Is anyone shooting an AR .204 w/ a 16" barrel?
I've been looking for barrels and most seem to be using the 24" or 20".
I need a 16" bull barrel if anyone can steer me in the right direction.
I can get a blank from Shilen, pacnor and most of the other premium barrel makers and turn it down
but I'm also looking for the best deal. Barrel extensions, headspacing and gas port installation is no
big deal, but,...if I can save a step and save $$ I'll go that route.

Thanks in advance TFL members

Dear Sir:
Douglas makes a fine bbl in most calibers. Call Fred Depoy at Douglas at Charleston W.Va.

Maybe I should post this part in the reloading section, but does anyone know what the ballistic affects would be to use a 16" barrel with this round?
Most data I've seen is 20" +

Have you looked at the .20 Tactical? There is a much better selection of barrels for this caliber.

I talked him in to going with a longer barrel.
Thanks to all
