[QUOTE="93 FOX, post: 2408830, member: 1202"] One will not be more accurate than the other, the only difference will be the 18 inch barrel will have a higher muzzle velocity (about 75 fps) than the 16. This will result in less bullet drop after 250 yards out. Once the bullet gets out to 600 yards the drop difference might be 4 inches. At 300 yards its about a 2 inch difference. There's really no reason to go longer than 18 inches. The gas system I think most will agree on, 16 = midlength, 18 = rifle length. [/QUOTE]
