Quoted:
I wanted a 10", but the gunsmith, for some reason, cut it to 10.5". It is not worth it to have another 1/2" cut off. Quoted:

Looks good, but why did you go with a 10.5" barrel instead of 10" ? Just curious. I wanted a 10", but the gunsmith, for some reason, cut it to 10.5". It is not worth it to have another 1/2" cut off. I know you already have the moderator - but perhaps John Thomas or braceman could make a new semi-slipover moderator? I would imagine it would probably be easier and cheaper than having the barrel re-cut and threaded. Just an idea. IMHO, a 607 is almost too much a labor of love to not get exactly what you wanted. ~Augee |

I mean, when you buy a blue car at the dealership, then show up to sign the papers and it's red...it would bug the crap out of me frankly. I'd mention it to him, consider buying another barrel, and keep that for a Mod ) Mk18 build...

It's a beauty but Augee is right.
It will start to chew on you late at night as you lie awake and think of all that extra barrel hanging over the end. The half inch will taunt you and mock you at every turn until you slip into the madness! 
RBRD. Not even once!

First, let me say it's beautiful........you've got a gorgeous stock.
10.5 inch barrel.........looks longer to me. All the pics of originals have the lock washer nearly against the frt sght,(right at the journal) and looks to me like you might have a full inch between the frt sght and the washer. (sorry to nit pick because you do have a good lookin 607. It would have been hard to not say something to the 'smith if you had told him 10 inches.) |
