Again, as other have said cutting the barrel down is going to make a marginal difference in reality, don't be tempted to cut to much off first go though, its hard to glue it back if its too short! 3 3 Quote Link to post

I think you misunderstood when he said mouse: Mind you our mice are tough up North. Just look at those antlers! Ask me one day and I'll show you a picture of our cats!

MickMiller 2 Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 When I had my CZ Hornet shortened by this UK Gunsmith I gained an extra 150fps. We surmised that the powder must have burnt before the bullet left the barrel, so those last few inches were actually dragging on the bullet and slowing it down. The chrono was a Magnetospeed, which has been checked against a LabRadar so no doubting the figures. I'm not sure why CZ released their hornet with a 20" barrel (Weihrauch certainly haven't), but it made handing inside a vehicle very difficult. Quote Link to post
