mad1 Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Hi all as I'm sat here doing a reblue touch up on my barrel what length would you recommend as it's really long and I also use a screw on mod not over barrel ? What length could I go down to before it makes too much of a difference on speed etc ?? Thanks M1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roger3167 Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Always took the rule of thumb that you will loose 40 -50 fps per inch depending on ammo when shortening a standard .223 barrel However it also will depend on the rifle twist of the barrel, as i believe a tighter twist will generate more pressure and compensate for the velocity. Tika have a high twist rate on their .223 Tactical rifle (1-8) which only have short 20 inch barrels, and are extremly accurate out of box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mad1 Posted December 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Mines 1-12 ... I think ? What weight bullets would you recommend on fox with a shorter barrel if poss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wacker Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 CZ .223 cut down to 20" re-crown and screwcut. No difference at normal fox shooting ranges. I use a custom Lawerence precision titianiam moderador. super light, overall a very usable rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
