A 5 inch semi auto barrel includes the chamber. In an L frame Smith in 357 Mag how long would the barrel have to be INCLUDING CHAMBER for the total length to be 5 inches.
Cylinder length plus barrel length. For the challenged you take the length of the cylinder and subtract that from 5 to get the barrel lenght.
WGAS about the flash gap. We all deal with some type of variation in everything we do.
Now we will have people whine about porting.
Boo hoo my barrel is ported to reduce the horrendous recoil and you are taking advantage of me.I should be allowed an extra inch of barrel to allow for this.
This isn't Golf and no handicaps are allowed.
5 inches total length with chamber is 5 inches total lenght.
