Since I can't garner any interest in my Colt 6721 upper, Im wondering if I can cut down the barrel to 14.5", pin on a flash hider and/or turn it down to m-4 profile?  Will cutting into the chrome lining, or crowning it, cause it chip away?  Has anyone done this?

If done right barrels can be reprofiled or cut down w/o any loss in accuracy, nor does the chrome 'flake' off.

Several vendors on this board can do the job right (ADCO, AR15Barrels.com, Kurts Kustom).

The crown is key. Had a few .308 barrels chopped down by professional smiths.
