Any recommendations on a place to cut down and thread a chrome lined barrel? I still need to remove the barrel. Just need to find a place to cut it down and also find a barrel removal wrench.

Any competent gunsmith should be able to thread and crown the barrel. It doesn’t taper a whole lot until it reaches the upper receiver.  A few members here made their own barrel wrench as the nut is recessed into the upper quite a bit.

Looks like US machinegun offers a service.

Good luck.👍

Send it to US Machine Gun as mentioned above. They did mine back in the spring without any issue. Probably around $250 once you consider shipping both ways.

Well worth the effort. Looks great as an SBR.

What does the length of the barrel end up as?

I have one from the first batch imported to the US. But feel that would make it more useful than how it is, now.

I think I papered mine as an 11.

Really cool!

I wanted to get one of the FDE ones and give it the same treatment to make it look like the MX4 but they got discontinued before the idea really took flight in my brain.

Maybe Beretta will bring them back someday.
