Possible to cut a long barrel to length I want?

[Cyclops]

I have been looking for a barrel for some time now with no luck. I'm looking for a 600 to 610mm 6.03 maybe a 6.05 IF that's whats around. I was thinking of ordering a 650mm and cutting it to fit in my Bar10 with a silencer on it. Looking for the inner barrel to go roughly 1/2 inch from the end of the silencer. Whats the best way to cut the barrel with out heating it or damaging the end of it? Is it possible? How would you do it? And yes I do know that's a long barrel BUT I'm already running around with this gun so no extra length will be added to what I already play with. Just trying to fine tooth a few section of my sniper gun. Thx......

It's possible, but you'll need the proper tools to machine the end of the barrel to remove the burs after cutting it.

It's better just to locate a custom barrel somewhere, or something that's slightly shorter than you need it to be.

I've done it multiple times to make barrels for SBRs.

I just cut off what was sticking out of the barrel then I used my deburring tool from my reloading kit to clean it up and crown it. Have had no issues.

I use a cheap pipe cutter from Walmart (its like $5) and take my time making the cut. Then I used a cone snapped dremel tool to crown the end by hand.

Do a test cut on an old barrel if you're not comfortable.

Yeah, the pipe cutter works the best, but go slow. If you rush it you can pinch the barrel.

If I were doing doing I would score the barrel with something like a PVC cutter. Put the blade over the exact spot and rotate the barrel to leave a mark, the deeper the impression the better. Then I would snug it up in my vice, the notched part that takes items vertically. Be sure to place the notch in the barrel only a hair above the clamp so that you can run a hacksaw through it and the notch will act as a guide for the blade. Then of course de-burr the barrel.

Brass is a pretty soft metal...so are *most* airsoft barrels for that matter. When I cut a barrel I use a miter saw with a carbide blade that has a high tooth count. The miter saw makes a perfect 90° cut. I then take a deburring tool and remove the material on the inside of the barrel while I use 220 and then 600 grit sandpaper to clean up the rest of the cut so that it looks pleasant.
