    Would a dedicated 22lr 4" barrel be to short? It's that or 9". Not a lot of barrel options for 22 ARs.

    Whatever makes you happy is what I say ;) But I would go with 4'' for suppressor or 9'' without

    Yeah, seems 4" would be short as f$%k without some kinda suppressor. I'm going 9 then. 8 would be better though.

    Good thing about 4" is that almost all ammo stays subsonic. I made an 8" long dedicated form 1 can for my 4" 22 AR. It's a great combo.

    Just a heads up - most barrels you buy will be Wylde even if they say 223 or 556 on them. Any barrel can be cut out of spec with any reaming setup. I don’t see how that’s a fault of the cartridge design.

    Its not a fault of the cartridge, just a bad experience I've had so far. I'm happy with a 556 stamped barrel so that is most likely what I will stay with in the future. I also will shy away from parts that are not stamped with a brand or come from a known manufacturer

    Is that a carbine length gas system? If so, why did you decide to go with one that short on an 18” barrel? Rifle looks good!
