Re: Do I need a shorter barrel?

Actually I would think they SHOULD be different. The Prestige is a different tone color and that is achieved with a different bore. Consequently the bore of the barrel should be different as well.

Barrels from different years would also be different since specifications change over time.

For example

I ran across an old, short R13, Moening barrel that is 62mm long. It has solved just about all of my problems atop my new R13 Greenline. However, in an attempt to get a Greenline barrel to do roughly the same thing, I purchased a Greenline Icon (inverted bore as well). Unfortunately the shortest version is 64mm. Funny thing is the bore is quite a bit more narrow and I actually wind up pulling out a bit MORE with the 64mm Icon.

Just an example.
