Question on N-SSA rules

[GreyGus]

I would take this question to the N-SSA forum, but non-members can’t post. I know there are skirmishers here, so hopefully someone can help.
I talked to Whitacre and he said he normally makes his barrel’s about 1 inch longer than originals to allow for it to be cut back in the future if the rifling is worn/damaged by the ramrod. He said the N-SSA allows this, can anyone confirm that. (Barrel for a 1863 Springfield)
Thanks

To my knowledge, yes. Here's a link to the rules. You don't need to be a member on the board to see this page-

Whitacre barrels are on the approved replacement list meaning you do not need a "sac" card if you replace your barrel with one. Word of caution, make sure the flash hole is drilled before you try firing it.
