My mini has a 22" threaded barrel. Threads are 1/2x28 and the shoulder is not substantial but may be adequate. This is the #2 contour barrel. If cutting it to 18.5" (something I have considered) and using the same thread pitch, the shoulder would be much more adequate.
If I didn't want to run a can, I'd chop and recrown myself. I've done it before on a H&R Handi. Hacksaw, rough file, fine file, rented a crowning tool to cut a recessed target crown, gained a better shooter, lost a little velocity. Easy to do, but I can't thread on bore center with hand tools
