welding, coupling, or threading 2 OEM barrels into one solid barrel?

[tango5]

Is the OP for real or is this a joke??????

it was just an idea that wont become a reality. someone found that Savage makes 32 inch aftermarket replacement barrels so welding 2 barrels together wont happen.

so looks like ill be purchasing a Savage Mark II next week.

Order one!

Welding/coupling two barrels is not feasible.

This.

what the deuce is the goal of such a long barrel???

so i can have the crown of the long barrel to fit in the M200 muzzle brake. if i dont have a long barrel, then there's a good chance that the bullet will shatter the M200 muzzle brake.

Just so you know; .22 has burned all the powder, and made all the pressure possible, in only 14" of barrel. Anything longer simply does not add speed or accuracy potential. In fact, longer barrels will slow the muzzle velocity.

I would go with a slim 16" barrel to stay legal, and sleeve an extension over that to the length you actually want. The sleeve cannot be so long that the bullet will strike the inside during its brief trip to the outside.

Not the same thing, but I rebuilt an old Model T75 made in 1938 that was nearly a complete derelict. After cutting away all the rotten wood, beadblasting the rust that was worth removing--and cutting off metal that wasn't--then rebuilding the trigger assembly. I had the barrel cut to 16 1/4", then back-bored 3" to remove the last of the corroded rifling. The great big rifle turned into a small handy carbine that shoots like a dream. Daughter has it now, and will never give it back

Ok, I gotta ask. We already explained to you how having a longer tube fitted over a barrel is fine weeks(months now?) ago. Where are you still getting the idea that the round would somehow "bounce" around the larger diameter tube? If any round is going to be bouncing in a tube that you have slipped over the normal length barrel, then you would never be able to hit anything at 10 yards. This would also mean that a real suppressor or flash hider couldn't work due to the rounds "bouncing", and they do not bounce.

If you're afraid that the diameter at the end of the fake brake is too small, just ream it out then.

i didnt mean bounce around.

i meant that if i didnt use a longer tube fitted over the barrel i would think it has a good chance of shattering the m200 muzzle brake if the 16" barrel isnt lined up properly. the m200 muzzle brake will be bored out

Well of course you'd have to line it up, shove a long cleaning rod or wooden dowel down the barrel and then secure it. When you bore out the fake m200 brake, make sure you give yourself enough room around the sides for any sort of play that may still exist.

yep got it

What action are you using? Just buy a barrel with a 1/2 28 threaded muzzle and have a 'smith or machinist make a "bloop tube" on a lathe to your length. That way it will stay concentric. Don't let any of those "haters" get you down. I like your creativity. I did something similar for my .22 AR. I took a steel 5 1/2 CAR flash hider and TIG welded 4 inches to it, turned it on a lathe, drilled and tapped it 1/2 28 to bring my 7 inch .22 barrel up to legal length. i would help you but I no longer have access to a lathe.

im going to be buying a Savage Mark II this Thursday at Turners. hopefully they carry them. i talked to my gunsmith about a bloop tube and a barrel extension and he has no problem creating it. he does this all the time for creating barrel extensions on pistols. he said he was going to thread the barrel and the extension tube.

i talked to mcgowen barrels and they can make a 30 inch barrel for a 22LR. then i can have them add an extension to that. i can either send the barrel maker my receiver and have them install it or have them ship it to me and have my gunsmith finish it.
