How? At 18" it's only around .66", IIRC. At .660 with 5/8 thread (.625) you only have .035 shoulder? Most smiths require a minimum of .100 over the thread diameter.
I was debating chopping my T3 Lite .270 back to 18" for 9/16x24 thread, but decided to leave it 22" and threaded it 1/2x28. I will do the same with my Lite .243 also.
