But what makes you want a 20" bbl so bad? Accuracy. My longer barrel 223 is way more accurate then the 16 inch. Edited February 4, 2012 by Jetmech Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zfields 3 Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 I actually just recently sold my 20". It didnt seem any more accurate then my 16", and if anything less accurate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vulcan16 971 Posted February 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 The 223s are more accurate.onna find out if the same can be said for the 762. My Russian SKS out shoots my saiga. Did you sell your Saiga on TGT? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hutchsaiga 93 Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 Hmm I'd assume the accuracy increase would be neglidable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
armory 142 Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 I cannot believe somebody has not done a comparison/review out there. The 20" were more available a couple of years ago if I remember rightly, then it seems to have dried up. Would like to see a follow up on your accuracy results if you could keep us informed. That would be great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That would be great. Agreed. Although I'll predict minimal gains in accuracy vs major loss in mobility will keep me buying 16in intermediate caliber rifles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

vulcan16 971 Posted February 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) First stage of basic restoration completed. Rifle was assembled with extra parts lying around including a Tapco double hook trigger. Bullet guide was the only part that had to be ordered. Next up is to thread the barrel and get to the range.
