[QUOTE="backwoodsshooter, post: 2240676, member: 117047"] you might wanna contact your gunsmith and see. here’s my short story- i wanted a 30” barrel, when i ordered my blank they asked what the finish length i wanted, received blank, measured at 30 3/4” talked to my gunsmith he explained what and how he does barrels; after threading and chambering it’s measured just a tick over 29. add the muzzle brake, it’s 30 1/2-31” now most barrel manufacturers will do 20-26/28”blanks for the same price i say grab you a 26” blank and tell your gunsmith what you want. let him/her work their magic [/QUOTE]
