I am currently working the details out for a barrel from Satern Machine. I have been thinking about 18" barrel 8.75 twist. I am not sure about length if I should extend it to 19" or 20". The twist rate and if I should go mid or rifle on the gas port? I would like to be able to carry the rifle around abit for hunting. But it will be used down at the gun club a fair bit to. I may wish to add a supressor at a later date.Can fluting effect the integrity of the barrel. This is the first barrel I have ever had custome made. Any thoughts or opinions would be welcomed.
