[QUOTE="Darryle, post: 2967290, member: 109917"] Well, when I bought this barrel, my goal was a 20" or 22" barrel for weight shavings. I didn't want it any longer than I needed to burn every grain of Vihtavuori powder. It arrived and then I figured out I wasn't going to save that much by going short. So now I am thinking I will just crown and go. When I asked about the contour of the #3 and #3b, I wasn't really thinking about threading it. I was more concerned with weight and twist. I wish manufacturers would post approximate weights at every finished length from at least the 20" mark. I know I am done with carbon wrapped, you don't save weight, but you do save having to deal with a finicky barrel. [/QUOTE]
