I dont know anything about the diamaters required, but shortening a 24 inch factory barrel, threading for an adapter, and drilling a gas hole SHOULD in theory result in around a 21 inch 1-12 twist barrel. No one flame me if I am wrong, it is just an idea. I would even think that a "worn" barrel that has been cleaned would work well.
