Chopping a barrel off to hide a screw hole seems a bit weird to me.
I have several with grub screws in the holes.

To clarify, it's not so much shortening it just to hide the screw hole, it's more that that prompted me to think about it... The rifle is pretty long with a barrel forward suppressor which I have found to be cumbersome for shooting from a side-by-side etc. It's also quite heavy, especially with the scope I currently have on it (another area where I'm contemplating simplifying things), which makes offhand shooting more difficult than it perhaps could be...
