I'm having one built and am going for a 25" barrel. I also bought a Heym...they come with 24" barrels. Either would be fine....in my opinion.

i think you could get away with a 20"
a 22" is ideal
and over 22" is a matter of ballance, recoil and looks...not much gained in velocity over 24" imho

the 404 is for d.g. under 100 yards

With all due respect there is never a concensus of almost anything dealing with guns.....we're all fairly independent!

That said I'll just say mine is 23 1/2 because that happened to be where the NECG front sight band fit best.

No less than 23" and no more than 25", anywhere in there would suit me fine. The one I chose to build was 24". The one I got ready-made was 25". Just my personal preferences. The originals were 24" IIRC.
