24" I believe

Why not?

I was debating 18" myself. Seen someone on FB that had one cut down locally and it sparked my interest yet again. I do alot of hunting in thick brush and it would make the rifle quite handy

Thanks! I knew there was a post a few months ago but I couldn't find it

I have a mod 70 stainless classic that im debating having chopped down to 18 or 20 inches. Just to make it a little more handy for my kodiak/raspberry island brown bear tag I drew for next year. Any thoughts or experience with cutting one of these down? Also debating taking my custom marlin in...

Isn't the 510 kodiak just a slightly longer 50ak? Or throated longer?

I wonder what a guy could do with a 500gr jacketed bullet out of the 50ak. Not sure if anyone makes one in that weight, but I bet it would be an absolute hammer for thick timber hunting. Or even out to 200yds
