Barrel shortening


Recommended Posts

How short can a barrel be without having to open up the gas ports? Will it still have a reliable action?

I went down to 19 inches and it still functions flawlessly on both settings, I really think that it depends on the weapon. All you can do is give it a shot, maybe add a muzzle brake if things dont work or drill the ports.

My barrel is already 19". I'm thinking of going shorter.

 

I'll be abiding by all applicable laws, I just want to know how short I can go without affecting reliability.

 

Anybody have any estimates?

 

Ask Tony Rumore....aka Tromix, he will know.
