[QUOTE="Shooter264, post: 868043, member: 23746"] I look at it like this...... Some may agree or disagree but it works for me. If you are worried about weight and think that a shorter bbl will save a ton, you may be disappointed. I'm talking about a #3 or smaller. I've cut an inch of barrel off the muzzle end of a #3 and it weighed ~1.3 ounces. So if I was worried about weight but still wanted the added velocity I would go with a 24" bbl and flute it. It would be a wash between a 22" unfluted and a 24" fluted. Another place to shave weight on a bbl is to run a shorter cylinder length ahead of the recoil lug. My experience is that it is common to run about .800" cylinder. I will typically run ~ .400" cylinder on a lighter weight gun. Makes it harder if a guy ever wants to set the bbl back but I figure by that time I might as well throw a whole new tube on it. Don't know if that helped you but it works for me. [/QUOTE]
