Here's my question for all of the gun wizards out there. I am looking to trade forthe gun described in the subject line above. It is a stainless model with the detachable magazine that Rem doesn't make any longer, except in the SPS or XCR. The barrel is, or was, standard 24" length before the muzzle brake was installed. With the muzzle brake it is @
25 1/2". I know the barrel can be cut and recrowned, but I am afraid it will be too short and will affect the velocity and accuracy of the gun if this is done. I really like the gun and would love to have it, but I don't want the muzzle brake. Do I have any options as far as doing away with the muzzle brake and not messing up the gun?!? Please advise.
