[QUOTE="DavidleeCole, post: 1769659, member: 85306"] My gun smith helped me out one time I bought an break for my 300 weatherby mag with factory barrel and he cut about 1 1/2" off and then did the threads and screwed it on. He first told me that he was disappointed in me for not doing my homework and would not be responsible for how it turned out shooting wise mechanically it was sound but had less shoulder than recommended. He only cut it back a bit to have enough meat for the threads OD and enough meat between the threads and bore of the barrel. The rifel shot fine and was a real treat to shoot for the next 3 years while I saved money to get a new barrel. I would say use your best judgment and talk to your smith what can be done and save money while you shoot that barrel out and get one later done the road. We did use a lot of red loctite to secure the break as that was his main concern for not having enough shoulder to torque against was it working lose. It worked fine and I would do it again If i had to. [/QUOTE]
