> The rifle will not be used for hunting, so not overly concerned with the insane loudness that will come with it lol. As for getting the barrel threaded, who would you trust to do it correctly? I’ve also heard many gunsmiths want to cut the barrel down some to install the brake, any pros/cons with that? Definitely going the limbsaver route first, but have a feeling I’ll also end up doing a break as well. Thanks for the help guys!

When going to a shorter barrel, you’ll almost always have a slower bullet leaving the muzzle. Some say the shorter barrel is more accurate, however.
