I'll probably shoot this one time and never take it out of the safe again
 lol but I found a Nagant 7.62×38mmR that I always wanted (since its the only revolver that seals the gap when it fires) to shorten and put a silencer on but wanted to know if anyone knows if the 7.62×38mmR round would stabilize if I took an inch or 2 off the barrel so I dont send a round through the side of the silencer, let me know, thanks

Tornado Technologies has been threading them for years. Ask them about shortening them that much.

I had mine threaded by ADCO. Don't know if they still do them, but it didn't need cutting down.

Ask them about shortening them that much. I saw an article on them but wasn't sure since it was the first time I heard of them, I sent them an email to see Quoted: I had mine threaded by ADCO. Don't know if they still do them, but it didn't need cutting down. I've had a dozen or so things cut by them but I mainly wanted it cut it down so its a little shorter, its already an odd setup, being a full length revolver barrel with a can on it makes it even more odd lol |

To answer your question in the thread title - yes. I was curious and used a drop cut from a Mosin rifle and it stabilized down to 1.5" including the threads in the frame. I didn't try any shorter than that.
ETA: This was with Romanian HotShot commercial ammo. I didn't try any of the corrosive surplus. |

I'm referring to the 7.62×38mmR ammo with the bullet recessed inside for the revolver (I'll admit I know nothing about this round). Did you need a new barrel and cut back a little at a time from a rifle that uses 7.62×38mmR? Sounds like possible good news, let me know what I'm missing |

Given the length of the projectile, I can't see how you could possibly lose enough velocity for it to matter.

Instead of using the factory barrel to see about stability in shorter barrels I removed that and used a piece from a shortened Mosin rifle - which is where many of the M1895 Nagant barrels came from - to test stability at various lengths. After that I put the factory barrel back on. I was only curious. |
