[QUOTE="Quintus, post: 1946442, member: 67552"] I wouldn't worry about a substantial velocity loss. I haven't been able to find it, but Back in the day either Shooting Times or G&A took a couple of rifles and chronographed them with 26" barrels. They ported them and lost less than 20FPS each. Then they started cutting them down and that was where the big velocity difference started to show. If I remember correctly the loss per inch became greater as the barrel got shorter as well. I don't think you are going to get any less effectiveness out of your rifle assuming the crown is correct. As stated earlier, the only real down side is you can't remove the brake and associated blast and noise. [/QUOTE]
