Yes, you can use a cut-off wheel to cut the barrel, just make sure you don't overheat the barrel by tring to go too fast and that you leave enough room to file it and not be too short. Yes, the .300 pilot should work for the muzzle facing tool. I think that chamfer tool should work just fine as it comes with the same size pilot of .300. As for the threading the barrel for a muzzle brake, off the top of my head I don't know if the SKS barrel is too thin for the 1/2-28 threading. But, if you do use the M14 LH threading, that is an AK style threading, not AR, so you should look at AK style muzzle brakes. I think that's about it. Looks like you've got a pretty good handle on what you're doing. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
David: Thanks for the tips! Appreciated!
