    If you're gonna use a suppressor go with 14.5".

    14.5 since a suppressor will add length but also all their weight at the tip past your handguard and you seem to want a mid-length overall barrel and not a comfy rest plinker
    If it's for subs only go even shorter.
    On that note maybe .300 blk isn't as bad in a pistol if you're shooting pissin expensive subs anyways.

      It's for hunting. I've never had an AR before, is the recoil bad with a 14.5" barrel?

        Depends, mostly on the length of gas tube (and by extension barrel and gas block) you go with, but also shit with your BCG and buffer assembly, too.

    anyone got pics of a 14.5" p/w and a 16" with suppressor? I'm in the same boat of do I want to get a 14.5" to save that length for a suppressor or stick with a 16" for potential future changes, like handguard or gas blocks, of if shit fricking breaks life finds a way to bend you over.

        Brownells only sells the barrel, not the upper. DDBlack folk expect me to buy their $2.3k gun and then spend $350 extra on their barrel just so I can circumvent the ATF Black personhomosexuals even though I already have all the paper work I need to own an SBR? Lol. Lmao even.

        Either are good. 14.5 looks ever so slightly better, bigger difference will be in the gas system, carbine feels more jumpy and springy, mid length feels more polished

        >carbine feels more jumpy and springy, mid length feels more polished
        Literally irrelevant when suppressed.

      Anything above 14.5" is troony ATF bootlicker tier. The increase in velocity is totally negligible and all you are getting is a less maneuverable platform.

    Anyone know what distance I should zero my 24” barrel at?

    Usually I zero at 25 yards to hit out to 300 yards with a 14.5 in barrel. What distances should I zero at now?

      4x ACOG if that matters

      • 1 year ago
        Anonymous

        The acog has all that math/drop shit factored into the reticle. That's why it's moron proof. Zero the crosshairs or whatever the base reticle is at 100yards and it factors in the drops at distance. Piggyback a red dot for 100yards and in and you have a perfect gun

          I thought that was only for a 14.5 or 16” barrels? Wouldn’t the extra velocity on a 24” throw off the calculations?

          There’s not really a longer distance to the 100 yard zero with regular height optics. You zero the crosshairs anywhere between 80 to 110 yards and there is only drop past that point.

    Well, in America 14.5" is highly regulated without a permanently attached muzzle device and 16" isn't. 16" is fine. However, if you aren't going to run a can, I'd go 20".

                because the TA55 is relatively lightweight, has good eye relief and a big fov. it also has an intuitive and minimalistic reticle.

                also because i got it for 700 bucks.
