I believe JP Rifles and White Oak Armament chamber in .223 Wylde. Possibly Saber Defence as well, but don't quote me on that.
If I remember right, the trade off in velocity for a 26" over 24" barrel isn't a whole lot; however, if you tailored your loads to the longer length, you could probably pick that muzzle velocity back up.
I think the barrel on my Remington 700 is 26" but it's a bolt gun, so there's no big difference on gas system operation. I'd assume you would just need to tune the gas system if it was longer, but then again, you should probably tune the system no matter the barrel length.
