Well knowing that you’ve chopped barrels before and your talking about BCA barrel I can see why you would consider this. Makes more sense than sending $100-$150 barrel to Adco then paying to get it shortened.
I’m not allowed to own suppressors where I live which tends to affect my decisions regarding barrel length. Only you know your budget and your desires. I think you’ve got reasonable feed back. You just need to decide which direction to go. I see SBR and 6.5 Grendel pistols as desireable except for where I live. I live on a border and probably restricted to some extent on taking SBR out of state. I’m limited on how I can use a rifle or pistol for hunting. In my situation and for how I shoot I’m satisfied with a 16” 6.5 Grendel.
I noticed PSA have BCA 6.5 Grendel barrels on sale today via email flier. The price for a 24” 6.5 Grendel is not so high that you can’t test the waters to see if a 24” barrel works for you. After shooting 20”,22” and 24” I wouldn’t buy a barrel longer than 22” and I wouldn’t want a FH or comp.
A lot of my decision on 24” AR-15’s is age, I just don’t like lugging heavy rifles around. For how your going to use the 24” barrel I can see why you might opt for a 24” barrel.
