As I am waiting on my tax stamp, I have researched many different options for shortening the barrel on the PS 90. As I hear CMMG has a very good barrel, I am concerned that it is not as good as the factory. Can some of you please post your experiences and thoughts based on cutting the factory barrel or using an aftermarket barrel to obtain a short barrel rifle. Thank you.

CMMG is just as good as factory.

I went both ways. First barrel was a cut, crown, and thread job by HDD. The barrel worked fine with no issues.

I also got the CMMG short barrel and that is what is on my PS90SBR right now. Happy with that as well.

The old short barrel has been redesigned into a test barrel for pressure testing of 5.7X28mm load development rounds.

you should also look into the new PS90 barrel offering from Stryker Enterprises. Just do a google search. If your not going to have your factory barrel cut, Stryker has awesome new short barrels for the PS90. They are not inexpensive at $369.99 but Mom always said, "you get what you pay for." Either way, good luck and enjoy. the PS90 was made to be an SBR!!!

I am really getting excited about going SBR. Thanks for all of your suggestions and input. It is an interesting poll, as it seems to be dead even on the contributed opinions. I like the idea of looking for a P90 barrel that Troublesx10 suggested. That would be ideal for keeping everything as factory as possible. I was not aware that Tros did actual cut-downs on the barrels. Does anyone know the average cost for a cut-down versus the cost for a new barrel?

I used a CMMG barrel and I am impressed so far. Is shot the sheet out of it yesterday and everything is as if should be. I wouldn't hesitate to go with CMMG a second time. I chopped the end of my OEM barrel off and I am trying to decide what to do with it now.

I went with an aftermarket barrel. Quick easy swap when you get the stamp. :?
