    I am curious, what is the big interest in the 20" guns here - is it just nostalgia?

    I didn't say that I didn't like them.

    However, they don't give you anything that a 16" middy doesn't, so that's why I wanted to understand the interest. If you say, "because I like them" or "because they're cool" those are indeed acceptable answers.

    I appreciate the added weight, control, accuracy, and muzzle velocity of the 20" barrel.


    Oh, and it's more fun.

    Any appreciable difference in accuracy and muzzle velocity between the 16" and 20" barrels?

    I can't tell you for sure on accuracy, other than it was noticeable to me. As for muzzle velocity, you get about 3200fps from a 20" vs. around 2850-2900fps from a 16". Particular models may vary.

    A lot of nostalgia really... As you also mention the differences between the 16" middy and 20" is really not a lot. I've got a set up currently with a Bushy HBAR and it is a little too front heavy for my liking...

    Where are these barrels for sale at?

    If you've got an A2 stock, put a counterweight in there. That's what they're for.
