I was thinking of picking up a LT50 SS 18" Lother Walther mid-length gas in .223 Wylde 8 twist polygonal rifling. I want to either cut and crown it at 16.125" or cut to 14.5" and pin and weld muzzle brake. This state requires me to perm attach any muzzle brake on semi's regardless of barrel length or I would just go with a 16".
So my question is, what would need to be done to the gas port if anything. Is there a specific gas port size for these barrel lengths with middy tubes?
I want to be able to shoot M855 and match grade ammo. Will shooting M855 wear the barrel out or degrade it any more then match ammo?
This will be used for CQB to 300 yards but with hopes of going to 600 occasionally.
Any thoughts/ help would be greatly appreciated.
Also if you know any qualified smiths that can do this job?
