I am going to make a new LW barrel for my AA EV 2 pcp. The old one is 19" long. The new blank is
23" long. Would the longer one give me better accuracy. Give me your input. Craig

generally a longer barrel will give better accuracy with iron sights as it gives a longer sight radius. if your barrel isn't giving you the accuracy you want, then it's possible the lw barrel will give you better accuracy. there are more factors than just the barrel that can affect your accuracy, or lack of. did you check your barrel and see something wrong ?

Craig,
If I'm not mistaken, your current barrel is either a CZ hammer forger or a Lothar Walther. Both are very good barrels.

Thanks for all the input. Went with stock length of 19". Will be testing it Friday and I'll post results. Craig

I think the Mk1 was fitted with a CZ barrel from the s200. While CZ makes a really fine barrel I believe it was under sized for the EV2 mount. You can probably make up a substantial part of the Walther cost if you decide to sell the CZ. 19" is probably a good idea if you don't need to wring out a little more velocity. I will be interested in seeing your results.
