Brux Barrels - Muzzle End

[jbmarshtx]

I don't have a lot of room on weight, so the preference is for the gunsmith to cut the chamber/cylinder end more than the muzzle end. What is the minimum amount to take off the muzzle end of a brux? I know some manufacturers say 1 inch, is that a good number or is 1/2" ok? I need to cut about 1-1.5 inches total for an ideal length.

1/2" may not be enough. Cut the 1" off the muzzle and make weight off the chamber end.

1/2 is not enough

Yes, take one inch off the muzzle end, then any more off the chamber
end. How much straight before the taper starts ?? I made the mistake
on a barrel that was a Max varmint with 6 inches of straight. That cost
me too much weight and messed up my choice of optics.....Fluting is
another option to shave a little.

Brux says 1”.

That's what I thought. Thanks y'all.
