cking Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Just bought a guard and barrel is too heavy 3/4" to the muzzle. So how thin/small can I cut it without problems? Don't want shorten it Link to comment
412 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I turned down my 9mm ar barrel to .583 and have had no problems. Link to comment
Aircooled6racer Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Hello: 5/8" diameter seems to be pretty standard. Just get someone who know what they are doing or you will end up with a banana. Thanks, Eric Link to comment

412 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Barrel was a 16" rock river that I cut to 6" then pinned and welded a 3/4 " aluminum shroud to bring it back to 16.5 " Link to comment

Was it to get the 0.584 ID? Did you run the tube all the way to the barrel extension? pics? Link to comment
412 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I used a taccom 3 barrel before they sold the aluminium shroud barrel they now sell for my template. The barrel was 7 " or 8" long and had a steel shroud with holes in the shroud. I ran the aluminium shroud back to the extension. The barrel with the aluminium shroud comes in at 13.5 oz and I have no idea how to do and post pictures. Link to comment
