Re: Almost there... 40x trainer

was it originally 28"
I goin to cut mine down as well, and since I am making a m40a1 clone, I cant decide if I want to make it 24 from the recoil lug, or screw it and make it 18"...
Any new reports on accuracy at longer ranges?

If your 40x accuracy is just mediocre then by all means cut it. But if it is a "laser", "hummer", or whatever you want to call it then I would advise not to cut it. Mine at 28" was a laser, shooting in the 1s and even in the 0s at 50m (mostly in the 1s). I had it cut and recrowned and never got that back. I found out later that the 40x has a choke at the end of the 28" barrel which of course was cut off when I had it cut to 20". I am thinking of reintroducing the choke at the end of the 20" barrel but first I need to get a lathe to do it since it will take some trial and error to get it right.
