[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 432630, member: 2736"] If done correctly it should not hurt the barrel but it could change the loading because of harmonics. If it is a straight taper a good machinist/smith can set up with a taper attachment and reduce the diameter to what ever you want. The contours are harder to cut down but not impossible. In any case the barrel will have to be re crowned. If it is a very long barrel you can cut a few inches of the end and reduce the weight but you will loose a little velocity. Cost may be close to the price of a new barrel job. If it is a known shooter and has a minimum of shots down it you could sell it and recoup some of your money. Just some thoughts.
