[QUOTE="Blancoalex, post: 2210371, member: 110819"] Here is how shortening CF barrel turned out, but proof will be how this affected IT' S shooting once put rifle back together. FIRST pic is parting off barrel. Here I went slow to not heat barrel and CF. I used sharp HSS tool bits. SECOND pic is parted off view this one had .580" diameter barrel so I threaded 1/2-28 for 5/8-24 muzzle cap. THIRD pi c is final job. Hopefully it will shoot as well as before, just now 4" shorter. The CF is messy and required..020 cuts or would start becoming stringy. [/QUOTE]
