good point about the muzzle blast... I didn't think about that but that would be a consideration. I should probably stay with a 20" barrel. It should be comfortable at 20" and yet protect me from too much recoil.
For a .223 you might look at the CZ 527. It has an18" bbl.

when the crossbolt safety came into being? I'm wondering how old a rifle
