Screw cutting and shortening a fluted barrel


Toby

Recommended Posts

As an example, if I was to buy a Rem 700 VSSF and get the barrel shortened from 26" to 22" or 20" and screwcut 18x1 what would it look like and is it advisable`? Does anyone have any pics of their rifles that this has been done on?

Thanks Toby

Yeah it will probably not look quite right leaving the fluting sort of exposed and not sure how it could be refashioned but with the muzzle end stuffed into a moderator that should look just fine,,,Northstar or recessed compact for example.Maybe a good smith could make you a thread protector or muzzle brake closely matched to barrel OD and vapour/bead blast to match the VSSF finish? I like 22" . better than less but that's just me,,,,what cal?,,,,,,,O
