Hello,
Since this forum is a wealth of knowledge I have a few questions. I want to build a .264. I would like to do a 20 inch barrel with target crown. I also want to do a rifle length gas system. Are there any pros and cons to this combo. Also does anybody have a lead time on this barrel. I want to use blackhole barrel since my 6x45 barrel does so good. Any preference or info would be really appreciated. Thanks
Mike

Rifle length 20" is fine. Lead time is 6-8 weeks depending a bit on fluting and if you want it blackened or cerrakoted.

The best firearm for self defense? Any loaded one will do.

I have a .264-LBC 20-inch SS barrel w target crown. Its a mid-length gas system that cycles with Hornady 123 and my handloads. I didn't shoot for accuracy but all seemed good on feed and ejection. I have one AR so nothing for me to compare.
