The one I bought a # of yrs ago from them was 18 5/8"...just that little bit more to make sure it doesn't screw in too short for the non- restricted class... While it did "index" perfectly to line up the gas popet, it was "short chambered" 15 thou, so if you want to shoot factory ammo it will require a turn or two from a chambering reamer.
If you re-load and have a brass trimmer the short chamber can be overcome by just shortening your brass to fit the chamber until the bolt locks fully, trim another 5 thou off and seat your bullets to an O. L. to a corresponding length and your away to the races.
