I would actually prefer the 26" to be 28 or 29" (optimal length) and then the short could easily go 18 or 20".

The 50bmg needs at least a 29'' barrel to burn all its powder .. Any .50bmg with a barrel under 26'' is just a novelty gun in my opinion , very nasty to shoot unless you like huge fireballs, excessive concussion and recoil , and greatly reduced velocity..

I've been looking into one of these uppers I feel the same that I would want a 28-29" but that is just because I have read the same as above from who knows how reliable of a source...
What is the weight difference between the 26" vs 32"?
Anyone with real world experience able to answer these questions?
Is the weight saving worth the efficiency loss. Does the 26" give off a huge fireball?
If you were reloading could you use heavier grain bullets and faster powders to lessen the fireball and increase efficiency out of the 26"?

Guess I'd have to answer my own question 140FPS vs 7" of weight to carry through the woods.
26"vs32" = 140ish fps 26"vs29"= 40ish fps

Hickok45 just happend to post a video of a 20" .50 BMG today

What are the twist rates on the 26 and 32's?
Will Canadaammo stock Vihtavuori: 24N41?

I have both a 29" and 20" barrel for my Barrett, big boom stick is great, but the shorty makes me smile......
