Thread: 22lr barrel length

I will be using mainly HV as I have yet to find a sub round that will cycle in my other papoose but haven't tried CCI yet.
Being a 'backpack' takedown rifle I figure a shorter barrel will be even handier for packing away and just handier to use.
And with a thin dead straight barrel, no taper whatsoever from chamber to muzzle, a shorter barrel may make it a little more rigid with the weight of a suppressor hanging off it .
Mind you the old one is still factory length with suppressor and doesn't seem to mind ....
Thanks for the input guys .
Being this papoose is a remlin version rather than an original I have no issues with fiddling with it and think I will cut it down to 13 and see what happens . If nothing else it will make it even lighter than the around 1 1/2 kilos it weighs now , which will be a bonus anyway .
