so if it's a wear item, and removing the permed brake generally destroys it, what's the issue???

Thanks for the responses guys, especially JSantoro.
I'm having Marvin Pitts do the work and while I have reason to trust him he seems very busy and figured I'd just make it easier for him. I suppose I'll shoot him an email and see if he has the time to figure it out.
Thanks again.

I say SBR it or just go with the 16.1" overalll length since it should still fit in that bag while being more on the safe side of you being legal.
On another note. How offer are people removing their flashiders? I see lots of talk about perming them making removal hard, but how are often are folks removing them? I set up my guns and haven't needed to remove the FH once mounted.
one thing to keep in mind is that the barrel length has very little to do with the OAL you are asking about. it is almost all dependent on the FH torque shoulder and also whether or not you use a washer as a spacer. if you have ever looked inside most FH you will see that there is a lot of leeway for where the muzzle crown can be. If you use a non-indexed FH again your smith should be able to adjust the shoulder down to the bare minimum for you fairly easily. if your barrel's muzzle ends up at 14.4", 14.5", 14.6", or 14.7" who cares. it's all about the torque shoulder location and the specific muzzle devise you use.

I think grinding off the bead, possibly drilling, pulling the pin, takingoff old device... then drilling, pinning and welding a new one on is indeed a PITA compared to unscrewing the old one and screwing on a new one.
Back on Track- OP, marvin does great work, he'll hook you up.
