    @mawzer308, a standard over barrel should fit easily after cutting the barrel 3 or 4". 15x1, 16x1 or 5/8-24 could be done , the latest being the most popular.

    Yeah mate that's the plan, thinking of cutting back to 17, which removes 6 inches of barrel. Planning to get a DPT but would need to pick one up or get someone to drop it off as getting the paperwork done where I am is a PIA.

    I recommend getting them to do the chop and thread. I had a 7x57 chopped and threaded in advance by my gunsmith, took it to DPT to have their can fitted, GS had got it wrong and had to chop that thread off and do it again. Least I had the barrel length to play with. DPT guys were great, what was meant to be a 20 min job they fitted into a busy morning and had me out of there in and hour and a half. Just make sure to book it in, and go read a book for an hour.
