Good catch. It looks like a voting tally for a democrat.

Skewed because 1 vote can count multiple times. I have 3 rifles, thus 1 vote counted in 3 different categories. It totals only the number of votes, not the different categories.
83 voters, but 119 rifles.

The distribution of votes so far is about what I expected.
The 22" length is an interesting anomaly, apparently not as appealing to Grendel shooters as either the 20" or 24" barrels.

Perhaps because it isn't a common production length? Could mean that most buyers will opt for what's "on the shelf" or for something slated for an earlier delivery date...

Or it could be that there are more people like me who didn't realize their barrel was that length.

I'm going to give this a bump so more people notice it again.
I find it a little odd that such a small minority of folk on a specialist forum actually have one. (109 out of 469)

Well, the current distribution is now as follows (corrected for barrel count, instead of the 110 votes)
Code:
Length bbls Pct
10 1 1%
12 3 2%
14 4 3%
16 22 14%
18 39 26%
20 39 26%
22 9 6%
24 34 22%
26 1 1%

Ttl 152 100%1.4 bbls / vote.

I can't belive I'm the only one with a 10.5" barrel so far. And only three 14.5" barrels (counting one of mine)? I guess the 6.8SPC marketing crew must have done a real number on the SBR crowd. Good thing the deer never heard that hype. They might refuse to fall over dead.LOL
I wanted to also mark 12" for my pending 12.5" build, but I figured that'd be cheating since I don't have the barrel yet.
Your not alone, just put another 14" and another 12" on the poll. I wouldn't own one longer than 16". Anything longer and I'd rather shoot a bolt gun. You got to give the 6.8 guys one thing - they are relentless with the marketing.

Started with a 16" went to an 18" thinking of going back to 16"(14.5). Or going to two uppers one with a 14.5" and a 24" to cover both ends. 24" for bench fun plus long range and 14.5" for hunting which for me, normally <100yds. What to do, what to do? Options, it's what I love about the AR and the Grendel.
What Barrel Length on Your Grendel AR(s)? - cory - 11-25-2014
Personally if I was you I'd go with a 20" for the bench and a 12.5" SBR for hunting.

I'd agree with ya on the 12.5 SBR for self-defense but for me, I don't want to deal with the govt/bureaucratic BS for a hunting rig.

Apparently there is a loophole and you can get a "pistol" strap stock designed to be bound to the arm, and have a barrel as short as you like. You also apparently do not have to utilize the weapon as a pistol, but rather as a rifle as the ATF allegedly can't tell you that you can't put your Glock to your shoulder and shoot that like a rifle either.

No headaches required, so far.

I voted for a 20" but I realized mine is an 18". Man it sucks getting old.

This...I have a 14.5 that I'm going to cut down to 12.5 and use a Sig Tac brace. If I like it, I'll submit the paperwork for an SBR. 14.5" is too close in length to a 16" when a flash hider is used to be worth the effort IMO.

Built my 20" upper this fall as a personal rehabilitation program after neck surgery. I intend to use it next spring after the doctor clears me to shoot highpower matches again.
