Balance is one of my concerns. I've seen several encores built with short 16" barrels and was thinking "That can't be balanced very well". If I go with a 24" barrel would a 1 in 8 twist or 1 in 9 twist be a better choice??
I saw the stock adapter you mentioned, it does look like a good option for a stock.
What are your thoughts on a muzzle brake/comp with a 24" barrel??? If I get it threaded, I have the choice of using one or not.
