Re: barrel length for suppressor
Something you should really consider before cutting the barrel is your application and basic range. For instance hunting, range shooting, long range, competition, full power and sub-sonic. If you are going 500yds and under full and sub ammo, I would go 16-20". Looking out further and full power mostly 24" barrel. Just a thought.

Re: barrel length for suppressor
My 22" with 9" SRT Shadow XL can(I am the bald one
). Not overly long and still gives plenty of velocity to reach out past 1000 without a rainbow trajectory. Getting about 2715fps with 178 AMAX. To me I would rather have the extra 4 inches and get better ballistics out of the rifle but some would rather have a shorter rifle. Just make sure what you want as once you go to 18" you can't get it back to 22" without spending a bunch of money.
I'd listen to Stacey's thoughts on the subject.
No problems getting it through obstacles either.

If you do not plan to shoot past 800 yds pluck it to 18"
You would be surprised how much an extra couple of inches off the muzzle makes for a handier rifle.

Some of us are used to swinging around a few extra inches
Piranha I wouldn't cut a factory tube to 17" and expect great long range performance from it but it's your rifle.

I can hook you up on threading the barrel. There are many other smiths here that offer those services as well.
Funny Rob.

Hooper's threaded two of my barrels and installed a few Badger bolt knobs as well. He does good work.
