This video tests the accuracy difference between a short 7-inch barrel AR-15 (CMMG Descent) and a long 24-inch barrel AR-15 (Bear Creek Arsenal) at 100 yards. Using the same Triton Orion 1-10x LPVO on both platforms, the test reveals that while the 24-inch barrel is theoretically more precise, both configurations achieved similar group sizes at this distance, with the 24-inch barrel yielding approximately 1-inch groups and the 7-inch barrel producing 1-inch and 1.5-inch groups.

Quick Summary

An AR-15 barrel length accuracy test comparing a 7-inch CMMG Descent to a 24-inch Bear Creek Arsenal at 100 yards revealed similar group sizes. The 24-inch barrel yielded approximately 1-inch groups, while the 7-inch barrel produced 1-inch and 1.5-inch groups, demonstrating that shorter barrels can still be effective at this distance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a shorter barrel on an AR-15 significantly reduce accuracy at 100 yards compared to a longer barrel?

In a test comparing a 7-inch barrel AR-15 to a 24-inch barrel AR-15 at 100 yards, both achieved similar group sizes. The 24-inch barrel produced around 1-inch groups, while the 7-inch barrel yielded 1-inch and 1.5-inch groups, suggesting the difference may be less pronounced at this distance than often assumed.

What optic was used in the AR-15 barrel length accuracy test?

The test utilized a Triton Orion 1-10x low power variable optic (LPVO). This optic was chosen to ensure consistency and fairness by being swapped between the two AR-15 platforms, allowing for a direct comparison of their accuracy potential.

What were the specific group sizes achieved by the 24-inch and 7-inch barrel AR-15s at 100 yards?

The Bear Creek Arsenal AR-15 with a 24-inch barrel achieved an approximate 1-inch group size at 100 yards. The CMMG Descent with a 7-inch barrel produced two groups, one measuring 1 inch and another measuring 1.5 inches at the same distance.

How does barrel length affect AR-15 accuracy at 100 yards?

While longer barrels are generally associated with higher accuracy due to increased velocity and stability, this test at 100 yards showed surprisingly similar performance between a 7-inch and a 24-inch AR-15 barrel. The 24-inch barrel was slightly more consistent, but the shorter barrel still produced acceptable groups.
