Did a quick search but didn't come up with much. My favorite barrel length is 14.5 with perm attached muzzle device. My current setup is 16" BCM mid length.

I'm thinking of having the barrel cut and rethreaded to 14.5 with perm attached 1.5 BCM comp. Is there any functional reason I should just buy a new 14.5" barrel and sell my current one to recoup $$? Obviously I want to go the cheaper route, but not at the expense of reliability.

My current barrel is the BFH variant and I'd want to replace it with a BFH barrel, but a new 14.5 BFH is $309 + shipping + muzzle device. So what say ye experts, buy new barrel or cut my current barrel?

ETA: future plans when $$ allows are an fsb shave and some sort of 13ish" keymod rail, so removable muzzle device isn't necessary.
