TCB Pro Tracker Registered: 09/01/04 Posts: 1665 Loc: Denton, TX	I'm thinking about grabbing a .22/250 or .243 and cutting it down to 16" to run my can on. I saw a Mossberg .22/250 in the classifieds that is fluted. Can you cut/thread a fluted barrel? _________________________

I've spoken to gunsmith's about this in the past. If the flutes stop before the area you want to cut it at, it will be fine. _________________________ www.DallasReloads.com Type 01 and Type 06 FFL
