    Posted: 25 June 2005 at 1:27am
What's your opinion on barrel length, I am perchasing a 8" Lapco, I already have a 14" 32 degree, which I'm not too exited about. I wanted a J+J to replace my 32 degree barrel and try it out. Would you get a 12" or a 14"? Other barrel recomendations and general opinions are welcome, but I've wanted a J+J for a while, they look so stealth and from what I have read it will be way quieter than my lapco and are a good barrel in general from pbreviews.com. Please respond, thanks!!!

Well, if you want more maneuverability then you should get the 12". If you want easier aiming then go for the 14". Barrel length really doesnt matter as long as you dont go over 14".

Are you happy with the length of your 14" inch? You find it too long? If so go down to 12". You already have an 8" and 14" so you are the best judge of what length is good.

I am very happy with my 14" i don't find it too long. I have never used a 12" so i cannot compare the 2 lengths.

14 inch is the best size

I'd go for the 12".  Anything past that is just a waste.  It's longer and not much more accurate, if more accurate at all.  Deffinetly 12".

Smitty do you have a 12" and 14"? Or did you have a 14" and then go down to a 12"???? If you did why would you, it's only 2 frigin' inches less. There would be no performnce difference between the 2 lengths except that with a 14" you would be 2" closer to your target. I'd say if you go to a 21" barrel then i would probebly maybe see a problem. Way to long to manuver that thing around bunkers, trees ect....

I've been thinking about it, not sure if I can justify the price. I've wanted one since I got my 98c, I'm looking for something simple since I am still an ametuer player. Thanks anyway.

I have a 14in J&J. It seems like its just a tiny bit too long and my gun feels kind of bulky. When I get a new barrel Im going with a 12in.

Duuuuude, get like a 21in, youll like shoot like sooo much further dude. Like you can shoot double the Flatline, no lie dude. Be a sniper and kill everyone on the feild before they even know, dude.

12"... i had a 14" Progressive on my 98c, and now a 12" Teardrop on my 'cocker, for me, if i could find a 10" id buy it, the extra length is fairly useless

but you will get used to having either one, its not a huge life-changing descision,

I've had neither, but I can see where the 2" could make a difference.  If there's no more accuracy added, why get the extra 2"?  It's just 2" wasted.  Usually the 2" costs more too.  Just get the 12".  Just my 2 cents.

I have owned a
16 inch
14 inch
12 inch
barrels.

I perfered the 12 inch. It was great. The second favorite was the 16 inch. It was great in air ball for moving the bunkers.
