You better make sure you know where the measurements are taken from for the 18" minimum. Also, the Feds don't care if it is 6" or 17 63/64ths, you will go to jail.

if your reallllly set on doing at least find someone that will let you use a metal cutting cross cut saw or bandsaw so it comes out right... dont use a hacksaw. it will just look like some goblin did it on a street corner to make it easier to rob a liquer store.

I'd rather my own son see me die on my feet as a free man, than watch him go, broken, into slavery.

I had heard that it has to be measured from the bolt face.

You will have to cut it off at the front of one of the posts on the vent rib. Certainly nothing wrong with cutting it off with a hack saw and then cleaning it up and straightening it with a file. You can also wrap some fine sandpaper around the flat file to totally finish the job. Take your time and everyone will think it came from the factory that length.

It is measured by dropping a rod into the barrel with the bolt closed.

It will be uneven, you will snag the rib and it will never look right after it is bent. But, good luck with what ever you want to do shooter!
