Longer than 21" or 21" exactly?
Lots of places offer longer barrels. Your options are only limited by your budget.
White Oak Armament/ Precision is a good place to start. They offer everything from match grade button rifled barrels at good prices to full custom barrels from top of the line blanks.

21", give our take a bit. Not exact.

A White Oak Armament 20" SDM barrel would be tough to beat. 20" in length and fluted under the handguards.

White Oak is my recommendation as well. They will do customs, or at least they used to. The standard barrels (Wilson??) they sell are a good value. Krieger cut rifled will get you about 1000 rounds extra barrel life and maybe a touch better accuracy, but there are no flies on their standard barrels. Each of the three I have have been sub 3/4 MOA using iron sights shot from prone.

Shilen makes a great 24 inch barrel if you don't mind a heavy rifle

Yup, superb balance and super accurate. ![[Linked Image]](http://forums.accuratereloading.com/evefiles/photo_albums/3/4/4/344100033/6731061612_2A820DF52BF175ACDB95B77752DCE849.jpg) As I recall the 700 was cut back to 21".

Where are the reference points for measuring a barrel of an AR? I'd like to see what mine is.

the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.

Mark it at the muzzle and measure the rod. Or for a quick & rough estimate, just measure from the back edge of the barrel nut or handguard. Remember about 5/8" of the barrel is inside the flash hider.

check out black hole weaponry they offer lots of lengths and contours. I might also consider a custom krieger one of these days when I get bored. BHW usually has a shot show special too.
looks like your wanting more speed, there are definate gains to be had handloading, you probably already know that. all I shoot mostly is stuff below 60 grains, I can't find anything that beats 8208 for speed and accuracy in 3 different AR barrels.
