[QUOTE="sambo3006, post: 381564, member: 2740"] I think you would be looking at tremendous muzzle blast, even without a brake. You could still build a light weight rig without the super short barrel. There are many ways to shave off weight from a rifle such as slabbing the action, fluting the bolt body and skeletonizing the bolt handle, very light weight synthetic stock, smaller barrel contour and/or fluting plus aluminum one piece scope base/ring combo like Talley's. The last thing I would do would be to shorten the barrel that far. Not trying to criticize, just throwing out some things you might not have thought of. [/QUOTE]
