[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2735905, member: 15054"] cut it shorter. I see it like this,, You do not wish to have that length on it now and you want it shorter so you can use it for a purpose. So if you do get another barrel what happens to the longer one you took off? It stays in a drawer for 25 years or until you give it away. If you cut the current barrel,, you find you do not like it,, you still will end up buying a barrel anyway. My savage 10fp .308 had a 24" barrel.. I chopped it with a hacksaw to 21" Then finished it while rolling it against a disc sander then crowned it with a marble.. accuracy was the same when finished. Then a buddy from Arizona sent me his Brownell 11 degree crowning tool that is a hand tool.. Accuracy is way better than the factory 24" That barrel was the softest steel I ever cut with a hacksaw.. it was like butter. I would hack saw off with a new blade and crown it and blue it with some cold blue..Done. [/QUOTE]
