[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 79161, member: 10"] Varmicide, To clean up the muzzle there should only be very little barrel length needed to be removed. If you want to shorten the barrel that would also be fine. The 223 is not going to loose much velocity from dropping 2" off the barrel length. Also remember that accuracy is function of stability and consistancy. This comes from rigidity in the barrel along with bedding and machining of the rifle. The shorter the barrel the stiffer and more rigid the barrel which generally translates into better accuracy. THis is why you see 20" Bull barrels on 100 and 200 yard BR rifles and not 24 and 26" barrels. A longer barrel is not a more accurate barrel just because it is longer. In fact give two barrels of equal cross section, the shorter barrel will on average be the most accurate of the two. It should really be a cheap fix to get your rifle back up and running. In my shop I charge $15 to recrown and $25 to cut a barrel back. Not that this is what you will get charged in Canada but it should not me alot of money to get this corrected. Good Shooting!!
