I've been looking for a 10.5 - 11" barrel for my pistol build, in 6.8 SPC. Noveske used to make one but they stopped. So I'm thinking if I find a 16" barrel, I can have it cut down to the length I want, but that brings up a question. If the barrel is supposed to use a carbine gas system and I cut it shorter, will I need to have the gas hole enlarged or can I put a Flaming Pig on to give enough back pressure to cycle the action? This is going to be a hunting pistol, so I'm using my handloads, which are loaded pretty hot. I'll be getting the barrel some time this summer, so I'm not in a rush to get this done, but I do want to get it done and sighted in before deer season starts.
