I Like 20" ARs-Does That Make Me a Freak?

Barrel length doesn't matter for the simplified classification system.
The rifle just needs to be longer than 660 mm in length.

I really like the fixed stock as well, that's a fixed carbine stock, the temp spacer helps, but it needs to be pretty much twice that thickness. I thought I liked a shorter butt, I was mistaken. I'm going to replace it with a rifle stock, but I think I need a new trigger first.
It's a 1.5-4.5X20 Bushnell Scopechief. I put it on to work up a 55gr and 75gr load. I got it really cheap at a show with the intention of getting something else later, but I really like it.
20" are great but so are 18", 14.5", 10.5" and 7.5". I don't discriminate.
Awesome. I have a 16" & 7.5". I used to have a 10.5" & will again in the near future.
At first i thought he said he liked 20 ARs & i was like "sure, that's not crazy. I like 40+"
Oh wait, where's your 16"? You don't like 16"?

^^^ @ cbabes - nice Ace stock! Love that look... just removed mine for my 'C7A1' half-assed clone, and already regretting it a little bit!
not necessarily. Slightly higher muzzle velocity, which means less drop over a given distance, but not necessarily better accuracy. Many other factors come into play.

I knew someone would catch that
Holding out for something special in 16. LOL
Haha that's great! I was joking, cause you already have a very nice selection, but I understand wanting to collect even more AR rifles. Are they all 5.56?

Especially stability issues with heavy/long for caliber bullets. A barrel that will shoot sub moa at 200 with 55 gr projectiles may balloon to many MOA with the odd keyhole if shooting 77 gr match. Ammo is as big a part of the equation as what you launch it from

Definitely not as fancy as some but its non-restricted so that counts for something.
I was thinking wtf was he talking about until I saw your location, lol!

Some better shots of my 20" PWS build. Started off as a HBAR mated to an Armalite upper:

From what I've heard Colt Canada does some pretty extensive testing and 18.6" must be the sweet spot for longer barrels just like the 15.7" is the sweet spot for mid length rifles. I'd love 18.5" AR-15's to become NR but I have my doubt it's the reason CC made theirs 18.6" But I'd be okay waking up tomorrow looking like a fool for posting this if the 18.6" was then NR.
The simplified classification system proposed by the CSSA is for overall length.

Yes but if the CPC will actually follow the simplified classification system then the OAL must be at least 26" (660mm)
Even a collapsed 10.5" AR-15 is over 26" so would technically be considered Non-restricted.
However the CPC may change some of these rules if they get back in power and decide to implement this classification system. I just hope my 16" AR could become NR....I dream of the day I can take it out into the bush.
That's a gorgeous rifle. Shot any groups with it yet?

Always wanted to take my old C7A1 from the early 90s home... finally more-or-less have it
Are you ever going to add the Elcan used back in the day?
I agree on both counts and prefer the looks and feel/performance of a C7A1 over the A2.
Other then perhaps an XM177/CAR-15 the C7A1 is my sentimental favourite...

Not yet, built the thing almost a year ago, but I've been addicted to bolt guns lately.
Will try to make some time and see how she does for groups. Don't reload yet, but I have a case of Hornady Steel Match and a few boxes of SMKs to try out.
