Noveske 20" accuracy

[Mohawk3a]

Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of noveske's 20" 5.56 varmint barrel?
I love all my noveske rifles, and I just purchased a 20" barrel from noveske. I'm wondering how its going to keep up with other match grade uppers. I shoot tighter groups with my 16" noveske than my 18". The new 20" barrel is thicker so it will be interesting to see how she shoots. I would appreciate any information. Thanks

Have you tried different ammo in each? Your 16" may like the ammo you have been using better than the 18" does.

I talked with a few people and have gotten the same response. The thickness of there n4 5.56 barrel is not thick enough to support a barrel length longer than 18" with decent accuracy. It's not uncommon for the 16" n4 rifles to shoot tighter groups than the 18".

What setup did you opt for?

It's built with all the parts noveske uses on there n4's. I chose the 13" handrail. The barrel is 20" 1:8 noveske varmit barrel. March crown (no flash hider).
