Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - SBR common lengths and twist rates
Posted: 9/13/2014 9:35:04 PM EDT
What are some more popular SBR barrel lengths and twist rates?  I'm looking at an SBR for my next build.

10.5", 11.5", and occasionally 12.5".

All 1:7 twist.  

This is assuming you're talking about an SBR chambered in 5.56.

You'll also occasionally see some 10.3" 1:7 twist barrels which are popular due to Mk18 and CQBR clones.

Build an 11.5" and it will be your favorite rifle.

I'd say 10.5" would be the most popular because of the Mk18. I like the 11.5" personally.

1:7 twist FTW.

I like 10.5 in both AR and AK flavors.  Just feels right to me.

1/7 twist for the AR handles deer and hogs fine out to 200 meters.
