    Might be a cheaper option, plus my experience of chopping barrels on a rim fire sometimes they are choked, learnt the hard way. Length don’t worry me as I use an over barrel suppresser
    Calibre: .17 HMR
    Rate Of Twist: 1:9"
    Barrel: Cold Hammer Forged
    Barrel Length: 20.5"
    Thread: 1/2x20
    Yes mine is 1/2x20 also

    Do you know what contour it is? Need to make sure it will fit in my stock etc. I'll need to do some research to confirm they are compatible. But feel free to contact me as I could be interested. Thx
