I was thinking about shortening and re-crowning a chrome-lined barrel. I am very worried about the chrome flaking off at the muzzle when it is cut. The chrome is so much harder than the base steel. I have seen hard anodizing flake off when cutting aluminium.
Has anyone done this? |

Yes I have 2 Colt barrels that I have cut to 14.5" w/vortex.
The chrome will not flake off. Just put a little crown on your muzzle. They tend to shoot better if you do. Scott |

Hard chrome does not flake off like regular chrome.

JD --
14-1/2" + Vortex will be 16" long when permanently assembled. I've used this since the Vortex first came out and it's an excellent combination. -- Chuck |

Just a thought, but I went with the Phantom versus the Vortex. My concern with the Vortex is moving through brush and/ or snagging on things. I know we all work on not letting our muzzles touch anything, but I try to be realistic.
The Phantom will bring the length of a 14.5 to 16.1", just like the Vortex. I've always heard they both reduce flash by the same amount, I would be interested in hearing any actual testing results. |

I've never heard that exactly. What I have heard is that the Phantom is close, but the Vortex is THE BEST at reducing flash. I have both, in my experience, its true. Nothing beats the Vortex, but the Phantom is close. At least the older Phantom, I've not tried the newer one. |
