Shortening the barrel

[LtBlue425]

Considering having the barrel shortened on the Golani. What length looks good and balances good?

I like my 16.25 barrel on my pre-ban ARM.

Same here.

 

[Ugh!]

I like my 16.25 barrel on my pre-ban ARM.

Likewise!

 

[emerz]

Uh, yeah! :tongue

 

[LtBlue425]

Just to clarify...is that the length including the flash hider or just the barrel itself?

 

[jetskrtal]

Barrel itself,as the FH is removable.

Best BBL length BY FAR on Galil is SAR/Glilon, i.e. 12.5".

Picture of my factory machine gun Glilon-

So jealous!

I shortened my barrel to 14.5" and permanently attached a Phantom FH to make it 16" overall. It looks good and resembles a SAR without the SBR paperwork.

What's required to seperate the barrel from the receiver ?, is it welded, screwed, pressed ??
Thinking of getting a clone but can't decide betweeen a P7 (PSP) and a Golani.
already have M4, Vector 93, P9S and other assorted pistols.
And there's no reloading the brass post Galil ?
The 93 stuff get reloaded , just takes a little longer to tumble.

 

[jetskrtal]

Screw in barrel(torqued,of course)

And there's no reloading the brass post Galil ?

This is someone else's method and pic, but they say it preserves the brass:

Here is my Century shortened to 16 1/4" with permanently pinned flash hider.

does the atf measure a barrel with bullet in chamber? my golani has 18" barrel, wanting to shorten but scared of THE MAN!!!!

Dumb question time..... If your barrel was shortend to 16.25, you would not need to permanently pin your muzzle break.... right? 16 inch is the federal magic number.... the .25 is there "just in case?"

Or do I, as usual, have my head up it?

Thanks!

[1096369fred]

Disreguard! I see your total length with muzzle brake is 16.25!

Thanks!

[scookkay]

cut it today, 13.5" with welded amd65 brake attached looks killer

do you need to do anything with the gas system when you cut it down? i am thinking of having a smith cut it down to 16"...

thanks!
