malkiserow Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 I have a 23inch barrel .22lr and thinking of taking this down to about 16 inches (maybe 14"). Has any one else done this noticed any change in noise level? I do use a SAK moderator and love how quiet this gun is. Will it get louder and if so how much? Any experience welcome.....

Scully Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 (edited) Chopped my CZ down to 16",fell in love with it all over again!I can't see a reason why it would increase the noise,but neither my mates nor me have noticed any change. Go for it,you wont regret it;mine cost £35.I didn't bother having it re-proofed. Edited March 27, 2012 by Scully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livefast123 Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Thinking of having this done to my CZ 511 maybe 14 or 16", Did you notice any decrease in velocity or accuracy? I love short barrels but is there a limit on how short a .22 barrel can go, I was told 16" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kes Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Have you already got children? Isnt that the 'snip'? The 'chop' would probably be removal of most, if not all the essential items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chr15j Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 My CZ 16"hb varmint is a great bit of kit, chopping down to 16 should be fine. Annie come in at 14" so you could go down to that too possibly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmshooter Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 (edited) I have just taken my ruger 10/22 into have the barrel chopped down to 13 inches from 18, they did say it might need a weaker spring as the reduced back pressure but i dont no if this is true or not FS Edited March 27, 2012 by farmshooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Has any one else done this noticed any change in noise level? Yes cut to 14" I do use a SAK moderator and love how quiet this gun is.

Graham M Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 I have just taken my ruger 10/22 into have the barrel chopped down to 13 inches from 18, they did say it might need a weaker spring as the reduced back pressure but i dont no if this is true or not FS Yes it could very well be true. I once bought (very cheaply) a 22 semi/auto pistol with a 7" barrel that had been left to go rusty inside the muzzle. The only solution was to cut off the end 2” taking it down to a 5” barrel. I had to remove a couple of turns on the recoil spring in order to get it to function due to the loss of velocity/recoil. Whether this will affect a barrel of 13” is debatable, but it could be true. :unsure: G.M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
