Axis Heavy Barrel Measurement

[Twostepct]

If anyone has a bone stock Axis Heavy barrel that they could measure back 5" to 5.5" and tell me what the diameter of the barrel at that point is I would greatly appreciate it. I'm wondering what the diameter would be if I cut it down to 16.5-17" before I buy one. Thanks.
