PCC Barrel Length for Steel Challenge

[PeterParfinik]

14.5" barrel with pinned comp or 16" with any comp for Steel Challenge?

IMO--doesn't matter.

I would go with the shorter lighter barrel given a choice.

[TNREDNECK]

I like 14.5 , and lite, and accurate. Some of the ultra lite barrels are not accurate FYI 

[RaylanGivens]

I have both...  I use the 14.5 pinned and welded barrel...  Lighter...  Faster transitions.

I too prefer lighter;)

Out of those two options all day long and twice on Sunday I pick 14.5 with whatever comp you want.

I would try to find a 7-10' barrel with a shroud if you are legitimately serious about competing in steel challenge with a pcc.

Taccom has a 5.25" with a shroud to make it 16". That would probably be the lightest. I have their 14.5" pinned extreme feed ramp upper with a 13" carbon fiber handguard and it is extremely light so I can't imagine what their ULW (ultra lightweight) 5.25" with the shroud feels like.

I just finished building a PCC using Taccom's 5.25" ULW barrel assembly... shot it at a local range last weekend... this range would not let me shoot a rifle on the pistol bays.. so I had to use the 100 yd bay... shot 5 shots from a rest & checked the target... l could cover all 5 holes with the palm of my hand... Taccom's 5.25" ULW barrel is  VERY ACCURATE

HE with the lightest front end can swing faster......something we learned from our Ruger Rimfire Days. That being said......TACCOM 16" ULW barrel is 15 ounces.

Taccom ulw is the way to go for steel challenge. It's the fastest pointing barrel I've run yet. No problems with accuracy at all.

Whatever combo give you the lightest weight.  I run a 7" barrel which has worked well for steel.

I personally don't think it matters, it's about the practice you put into. I have shot well with a Ruger PCC and a JP GMR-15, both are tanks with long barrels, but I've put in a lot of practice with them. I also have seen 'Tampa-XD45' burn it down with his SBR at his matches. Choose what you want and put in the time.

TY all for the input

I use 8" on my MPX-
