[QUOTE="lv2hunt, post: 889269, member: 4842"] School me on this please, I cannot find an answer to this and I am curious. This may be an ignorant question, but at my expense here it goes. Would it be a viable option to shorten a new barrel from the breech end prior to chambering and threading in lieu of the standard muzzle end? I only ask this because one of my barrels has a 5" long flat shank at the receiver end and the flutes run from the end of the shank to almost the end of the 30" current barrel length. Would cutting up to 2" off the breech be problematic to the accuracy or anything else? Thank you, lv2hunt [/QUOTE]
