Is there any way to extend a barrel about 1 inch?  Prior to placing comp on.

May be a dumb question, if so, sorry...

Thanks

Making a barrel longer is not cost effective nor would it be worth the time and effort.

Why do you need to make a barrel longer? Are you trying to replace the muzzle device on a 14.5" bbl and still keep it "legal" (16.1" total length)?

A threaded spacer can be made if you just need to add to the overall length and then permanently attach i.e. to meet 16", or to get a suppressor to mount outside a ff rail or something like that. If you actually want to have 1" extra of rifling, then no you can not.

Thanks for the replies.  I have a 10.5 barrel and a rifle length yhm rail, I was hoping my PWS CQB comp would stick out a bit more but may just have to go with a kx3 or something a little bit longer...

Thanks again

You should be able to sale rale and buy a shorter one for very list cost difference.

Some one just had a thread with this kind of thing your looking for. It was about 3/4 of an inch and was the same diam. of a standard barrel with female 1/2-28 threads on one end and male threads on the other. Now I cant find it or I'd link it for you. But I'd just sell the barrel and get an 11.5" or get a little shorter rail if you can, before I'd trust a contraption like the one I saw.
