    22 magnum barrel chop

    Ok team, have a CZ 452 22 magnum, wanting to suppress, question is how much barrel can I lop off before losing significant velocity? The barrel currently is about 25 inches

    Cheers

    You can cut it back to 20 inches without much velocity loss.

    Looks like down to 14" is minimal drop in velocity which is pretty good
