[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 894996, member: 11717"] Most barrel makers instruct you to cut off x" of barrel at the muzzle because the rifling and/or lapping process produces inconsistancy at the end of the barrel. Bottom line, you need to check with the barrel maker for their recommendation. If you have enough total length to take some off the breech end as well after you get the desired finished length, go fir it. [/QUOTE]
