Mr bigbore, I’m getting ready place an order as soon as my muzzle device arrives and couldnt find anything that stated the standard length of the threaded portion of a barrel cut and thread. I am sending in a 16” 5.56 M4 barrel that currently measures 16 3/16” from the bolt face to be cut and threaded to 14.5”. The threaded portion measures .65”. Do you leave the same length, .65”, of threads? I am also ordering a pin and weld so I want make sure I allow enough barrel length to make 16”. The muzzle device is a Griffin 2.25” flash hider, which I believe adds 1.6” of length from the shoulder. Or would you recommend cutting to 14 5/8” to be certain? Also going to add having my FSB shaved down while its there. Should I include the pins with it or keep them at home? This is an LMT barrel so pins are straight and a mf’er to deal with. Just want to make sure I get my order right before sending everything in. Thanks for your time, Mike |

You can keep the FSB pins. |
I'm no good at telling people what they want to hear when I dont believe it myself :)

Got the barrel back today, thank you very much for the excellent work. The 3 prong FH was timed even though it didn’t need to be, that’s attention to detail. I’m glad I went ahead and had you shave the fsb instead of doing that myself, no way I could have made it look that good. Thanks again, Mike |
