I've heard of guys getting improvements in accuracy from shortening the barrel, because it is so thin, it helps negate some of the flex.

As far as the "no FDE or Camo" thing, I'll be honest, every gun I have apart from this newly aquired PSL and my glock are either camo or FDE/Brown or some combination thereof. Black just doesn't make any sence to me, and none of mine are for looking at or shooting just for fun so there is a great possibility it will end up like that, sorry,

Most people have the front sight put back on after cutting the barrel down, I was thinking of leaving it off, and going with the weld on HK style sights they've been putting on Saigas ( http://store.carolinashooterssupply....-RIFLES/Detail - the front sight is welded onto the gas block, the rear onto the dust cover), as the optic will be the primary sighting device. PLUS, that gives the option to make a suppressor with a very large expansion chamber. You could make the suppressor's expansion chamber double back over the barrel, where it would appear that the barrel is shorter than it is. Sort of like this...



I think it would be possible to get good noise reduction, while maintaining roughly the same overall length.

Thoughts?

And before I get the, why, it's just a PSL .. why put a 400 HP engine in a car built in the 60's? Why get a tattoo? Because I wan't a bad ass PSL, thats why.
