Thread: .270 barrel length and stock modding for suppressor

Are you planning on widening the stock channel to accept the suppressor? Its normal practice to just cut the stock. Maybe im off on a tangent?

Yea that was the plan to widen it but that would only work with the standard houge overmoulded jobbie it has now as a stock from boyds or similar would be too narrow

A shorter barrel won't help your offhand shooting it will make it worse you will lose the forward weight bias that helps steady your aim, what you need is to practice more, not nessercerly with the .270 a .22RF will do fine,
short barrel .270's are quite vicious noise wise.

Just cut it

I want to see the suppressor that requires cutting the stock on a 24" rifle to fit... Surely a reputable manufacturer wouldn't make something so stupid?

No its fine if i leave it 24" if i cut it back to 22" i need to do something with the stock.

I cut my rem 700 in 270win back to 20inches and with my gunworks suppressor I got 100fps back.
130gr SSTs are running close to 2900fps and dropped some tahr at 450m, so I wouldn't worry about it.

Whats the overall barrel length with the surppressor now @scottrods?

Soo cocked up a bit here guys i remembered the measurements wrong my rifle is already 22" and i was thinking of taking it to 20 or 19". 20" would probably just fit without stock mods but 19 wouldn't. I hung the suppressor off the end and shouldered it as is and im quite impressed how the extra weight hanging off the end massively reduced my wobble so after all that i will leave it as is and send it in to get threaded at 22". Thanks for all the input tho certainly gave me plenty to ponder on.

+1 cut my t3 to 20" rifle is now beautifully balanced with suppressor on. Shooting 150gr LRAB @2840fps, do the maths on that.....

Not bad.
My 75 Finnlight (20 7/8" factory length) and DPT can was only pushing the 150gn LRABs at a dribbling 2650fps.
It only likes slow or stupidly hot loads. Nothing middle of the road.

I'm on the verge of "stupidly hot" and my brass life won't be great but it works, shoots tiny little groups and kills stuff dead near and far.

Whats this stock cutting business? With a modern, small and effective suppressor there is no need...

Be on the lookout also for the upated lighter S series SL models this spring!

Look at that lovely pine forest to wander through, come bring that long ass barrel for a stroll in the thick shit here and see if you don't want to cut it
