RE: Re-barrel my Browning?

I couldn't see the actual benefit of cutting off two inches. Why not just chop it off six so you don't have any barrel to worry about?

Well if crowned correctly it shouldn't, but you might have to adjust you handloads some and if shooting factory things can change as the harmonics can change.

If anything, with a good crown, it should shoot at least as well, if not better, as the shortening also stiffens it up!

RE: Re-barrel my Browning?
