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..........................

I've had 14.5", 16", 17", 18" with intermediate gas and a 20".
For me it's 16 or 20.

That'll work. They're easy to like when they shoot great.

I know Stick doesn't like muzzle devices much, but to my ears, a bare 16" muzzle seems a lot louder than a 16" with the A2 muzzle device.
I really don't find my 14.7" with A2 muzzle device to be all that rude.

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

Equal to equal, MD or not, an 18" gun a definitely quieter than any way you can do it than a 16 is other than suppressed.
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.
