Ok, so I came into a Fieldcraft in 6.5 CM with 21” barrel. It was just too tempting and I jumped on it. My problem is, I was planning on getting this rifle in 18” so I can suppress it. (If any of you have been following the classifieds, I’m attempting to facilitate a trade for an 18” version but that’s likely a long shot.) So, would it be a bad idea to thread the 21” barrel? I’d have it threaded to 7/16x28 to ensure enough shoulder and utilize a Kimber 5/8x24 adapter. I’m not very experienced with lightweight rifles or threading and I’d really like to not screw up a dream rifle. I’m encouraged by the fact that the barrel is bedded for the entire length of the stock to support the weight of a silencer.
I know what Mjduct and specialk have to say about this, just wondering if anyone else has or would attempt such a thing :-)
