[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 2699667, member: 10"] Any barrel maker can make you a barrel with a larger contour for the muzzle threads you need. Then just get it installed by a quality builder. Main issue is that you may not have enough stock material to open the barrel channel up large enough for the larger barrel. Even if you do, with most factory synthetic stocks, enlarging the barrel channel will make already flimsy stocks even worse. The increased barrel weight will exaggerate this stock fore end flexing issue. May be a good idea to look into a new stock as well if your doing this conversion. One that will be much stiffer and more stable. [/QUOTE]
