What happens when you cut a proof tube off. I was sick of the fly rod so I wacked it off.

What's the bore caliber and the OD of steel barrel?

 

[Clownbuster]

I'll bet you could thread the carbon 5/8-24 and fit a muzzle on it without issue.

Turn that carbon down, thread, add an adapter and you're back in business. A guy local to me has this down to a science with the carbon barrels.

I'm not super impressed with the carbon as it wants to fray a bit. I made a collar for the muzzle that I will shrink on. I have zero interest in a muzzle add on. I don't want a long rifle.

What's the bore caliber and the OD of steel barrel?

308 and .0534"

Be interesting to see if it bells out on the end after some use

Dunzo! I shrunk a collar on that I made from a barrel stub and matched it. I made some .025" cuts in both directions as fast as I could feed and it didn't budge. HOPEFULLY I don't have to lap the muzzle, but it was only. 0015" tight. Time to test drive it.

Can you feel any extra tightness pushing a patch through?
