[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3178115, member: 15054"] I have cut barrels they are quite soft. If you have a disc sander like a table top type with a rest in front of it you can roll the barrel on the rest and against the sanding disc and get it really flat. I took a tubing cutter to my 308 barrel to mark a line all the way around the barrel. Then new hacksaw blade to cutt it leaving just a tiny bit of the scribe mark. then hand file to the point of just touching the scribe mark. Then roll on platform for disc sander. Shot a bit better than what it had from the factory. Then I crowned it with 11 degree brownell tool. Shot a wee bit better still. Never threaded one though. I have 4 guns with threaded barrels and if i run a brake or flashhider on them carbon builds on the muzzle face/crown and after a few shots accuracy drops off. So I run nothing on them and Never will. I like my accuracy. Are you just wanting a shorter barrel or are you fixing a messed up crown? [/QUOTE]
