Big Stick Campfire Kahuna Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 58,467 Paradise,Alaska	Originally Posted by MontanaMarine I've got barrels 10.5", 14.7", 16", and 20" represented. I have an itch for a 12.5" pistol too. That and an 18" would hit most of the lengths between 10 and 20". I don't have any interest in shorter or longer than that. 18" is just a very nice place to be,for performance(75's at 2800fps is a breeze),parts wear/tear(Rifle Gas is your friend) and noise..........................

Got the cart in front of the horse on that one...but the fhuqking thing SHOOTS,so I'm stuck in transition..............(grin) Brad says: "Can't fault Rick for his pity letting you back on the fire... but pity it was and remains.

MontanaMan Campfire Ranger Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 23,631	Originally Posted by Big Stick Looks Middy.................... Good eye..........yes, the bottom one is mid with an adjustable GB. Top one is rifle gas. new one being built is actually 18.8" with rifle gas & AGB. Using an AGB on a middy mitigates some of the recoil impulse & gets it to shoot about like rifle gas, but with still a little more port pressure. MM

Unless you actually shoot them side by side, it's hard to believe it would be as much as it actually is. But on an LR gun I want as much reduction in muzzle jump as I can reasonably get w/o going to some of the really extreme breaks. MM
