I just chopped a Winchester 94 barrel to 16.5". Testing has just started but it looks like accuracy will be better than it was as a 20" barrel. Maybe the old crown was nicked or something. I have a Marbles tang sight on it. I have to shoot it more before I quote any numbers. That will have to wait because deer season is open!
I should add that I did run a 150 grain load over the Chrony and it didn't lose much velocity at all compared to the 20" barrel. I don't remember exactly but I think it was less than 100 fps.
