Looking at a 20'' 450 barrel from Franklin Armory. Anyone have one or can give their thoughts? Link

Trident, Bushmaster, Tromix, Gryphon, etc.
The barrel you are looking at is going to be heavy.
I have the factory 20" Bushmaster and if I were to do it again I would have a 16".

What do you dislike about the 20''? My thought was going for the extra velocity.

When you add one of these length becomes a factor...Attachment Attached File

Without a suppressor 20" is fine.

Good point. It will be a bit before I move on a big bore suppressor though.

Take a look at,  450 Bushmaster if already haven't. Lots of info there.
If I was to build one now I probably would try the Tromix barrel & bolt.
