Anyone make their own barrel shroud?

[greatlakes08]

I was looking at converting a pistol length PCC and making my own shroud and getting it pinned so I can run it as a rifle. Has anyone done this? Any suggestions on where to get materials?

If someone knows where to buy one similar to what Taccom uses on their ULW barely I would definitely just buy one instead. It needs to have 9/16 -24 threads....

Buy a Taccom ULW it will change your life.

I already have one. I want to have a 10 inch barrel and six inch shroud.

The shroud goes all the way back to the barrel extension. If you want to add something to the end of a 10inch barrel it would be more like a muzzle break. 

You could put a shroud over the entire 10inch, all the way back.

Muzzle brake would be okay with me. Do you know of one that’s 6 inches long on the market?

Brekke makes a 6 inch comp extension

Had a squib issue that left four bullets and three bulges in the last six inches of a barrel, but did no damage to the first ten inches. 

 

Cut the barrel, and installed a .75" ID aluminum tube over the gas block area (it was a perfect fit). Pinned and welded it in place. 

 

It shoots great, balances nicely, and saved me the cost of replacing the barrel.

 

All of that said, unless you have a barrel laying around, or one damaged toward the muzzle, it's not worth the money to buy a barrel and shorten it when you see what Taccom charges for their barrels, and the Taccom barrels are ramped, and work well. Taccom makes good stuff, and I have one of their 12/16 barrels on my Glock mag gun. 

 

The barrel I did was damaged, so it was cut, shroud, and use, or toss in trash. It has no ramp, so I use it on my Colt lower, and it works great. On Glock mag guns though, I'd suggest something with a ramp.
