So many acronyms. so little time.
I set right to work yesterday after getting my approval. I had read about WECSOGing a barrel shortening job by using progressively smaller dies and removing the thread between passes.
I did this once years ago to a Century FAL and it worked perfectly.
I would never do this to a nice rifle but had no qualms whatsoever about cutting up another CAI.
My C93 has a plain triple frame and the barrel had that section with the increased diameter.
I cut the barrel off there, squared off the end, gave the muzzle a little chamfer, and ran 18, 17, 16, and finally 15 x 1mm dies over that area. I had to shorten the muzzle brake by .090".
I dont have a lathe so I chucked up the muzzle brake in a drill with a large bolt thru the center. I turned the MB and held a die grinder with a sanding disc to the target area.
The end result is true within less than .010".
I am so uncouth, but I have a good time.
