    Default Can Anybody Reccommend A Gunsmith To Cut Down A Big Ass Barrel?

    Hi guys.
    I just gor me a Bushmaster BA-50 (BMG).
    What I really wanted is a carabine, but I found a great deal on the rifle (it sells at $4500 and I found one almost new at 3k's).
    Problem is the rifle is huge and I really don't need to compensate for anything, so I wanted to cut down the barrel from 30" to 22" (carabine lenght).
    It involves recrowning, rethreading for the muzzle brake and most of all cutting through a BIG ASS barrel.
    Obviously I don't want this to cost me an arm and a leg, but, IF I get it done it needs to be done right.
    Any suggestions (N Denver preferred)?
