If a guy wanted to cut a Savage factory sporter barrel down to 16.5", any idea what the muzzle diameter would be at that length?

Thanks for that! Looks like 1/2-28 threading would work, but 5/8-24 would be a no-go...darn...

It's better to shoot for the moon and hit the fencepost than to shoot for the fencepost and hit the ground!
