shorten a 16” mid length barrel

[UWone77]

A few people have tried to offer factory 12.5" Middy barrels. I still have a Rock Creek one from Rainier that runs suppressed. I'm not sure what the gas port is, but its enlarged for sure.

If you know a competent smith who is able to properly cut it down and open the gas port up, go for it. However, keep in mind there's a good reason not a lot of people are offering this configuration. It may or may not run reliably.

UWone77, thanks for your feedback. I tend to agree, short mid length barrels are certainly not common. I really don’t want to have a perfectly good barrel cut up as an experiment.
