[QUOTE="Punisher, post: 1078954, member: 76832"] You need to consider the diameter of the barrel at the muzzle. But for general work, you probably won't find a smith that will do less than 1" unthreaded or 1.5 with threads cut for a suppressor or brake. The closer the flutes come to the end, the more you open up to the possibility of a barrel failure. I have never seen it, or heard of it, but that's why nobody likes to go under around 1.5". Most flutes terminate 3" from the end of the blanks that I have seen. [/QUOTE]
