Could anyone please where would you call the start of this barrell as reference point so if I when I send it away to be shortened and threaded would he measure it from the dead start (Thin end)
or the part where it steps out to larger size ? Thanks

Close the bolt, insert cleaning rod to contact and measure that....
Tell the gunsmith exactly how much you want off the muzzle.... don't worry about the overall length.. less complicated that way.. lees chance off error from working out differing overall lengths..
Sidney thanks for that but if I want to mark it so it becomes no shorter than 16 inches where would I measure from ?Quote:

whats the fixation with 16 inches?
mines 16 inches and missus never minds
2short 1 long and its a great action
works every time
:huh::ORLY::thumbsup:
New gun one of the ruger takedown models and if I chop barrel at 16 it will fit in the bag with suppressor fitted plus all over the web it says 16 is primo ruger 10 22 length Just a toy but bit of fun alsoQuote:

Do they still eject subs at that Saw someplace that you may have problems that length I d love to go shorter as its a kinda leave in the ute gun pull up at mates farm there's a rabbit and deal to it.Quote:

not a take down tho. but still brand new. so all the springs would be stiff as they ever will be.
The accepted traditional measurement point is the action barrel joint to the end of the muzzel.
its not the velocity that matters its the quality/quanty of the load that makes all of the differance:PQuote:

Hey Jonsey. How's everything going? Did you get any decent groups with those projectiles?Quote:
