[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Saiga Barrel Question

Posted: 5/9/2012 6:15:55 AM EDT

I purchased a RWC 24" Saiga 12 in hopes of being able to shorten the barrel (I have a local guy who could shorten it). Will I be able to shorten the barrel to around 18" without having to modify the gas system as well? I am not sure if there are more/less ports drilled for a 24" barrel VS a standard 19" barrel model. Does anyone have experience with this?

Thanks!
