As info, I had the barrel on my Saiga 20 cut down to 16.5" then permanently affixed a Saber Boss muzzle brake. A local gunsmith in the Charlotte NC area (CMP Armory - Dallas NC) cut the barrel and welded the brake on for $40 (not including shipping or the cost of the muzzle brake). I thought that was an extremely reasonable price! Look them up on the internet if interested in their services. Good luck!

Guys, I've got a Saiga 20 that I want to shorten the barrel on and add a "Saber Boss" muzzle brake by SGM. The barrel appears to be about 22" long. Cutting it down to 18.5" and then adding a 2.5" long brake doesn't accomplish much. I'm currently leaning toward having the barrel cut down to about 16.5" and then permanently attaching the brake, bringing the overall length to 19". I realize this takes away any future options for barrel attachments, etc. but I don't particularly mind as long as it functions properly. I guess my main question is how much can I shorten the barrel and not effect
