barrel clamping

[g n brezinski]

i see some glue barrel to a heavy sleeve afair while others use bolts to clamp barrel to the sleeve.what is the better way if any ?also should you use a 22 inch long barrel or something longer?

I think the current trend with sleeves is to simply clamp them to the barrel via the block. I see no need to glue it to the barrel, but perhaps someone knows why that would be advantageous. As for barrel length, there's no set number. I cut mine at 23".
