I have a 260 Remington GAP Surgeon with a 27 inch barrel in a AICS 2.0. Barrel is a No. 7 Bartlein fluted cerrakoted barrel. Rifle is a laser with incredible velocity , but is too darn cumbersome.
So, I am looking at cutting the barrel back to something more practical. Barrel only has 1000 rounds through it so I am expecting a little more barrel life.
Looking at 22,23,or 24 inch barrel with Surefire brake. Current muzzle device is the B/O clamp on FTE. Looking to change the look and handling characteristics. Already notified Dr.'s at GAP that the patient is coming back for more cosmetic surgery.
If that doesn't work, stock is next, but want to try barrel length first. Caliber selection is wonderful. Next tube will probably be another 260.
Any comments welcome. If I was rich, I would just put a new barrel on but this one shoots so good I would still hate myself.
