It’s going to be tough to find a shop to grind it properly and or not mess it up. Properly meaning the right machine to do the job. Crosman, Daystate ect do have custom center less grinders for this. A lathe grinding attachment can do it but would definitely still need a good follower on the opposing side of the wheel.I forgot to mention that using tubing mics I did confirm the ‘wall’ thickness to be uniform within a few tenths, which is to say it’s well centered at the very breech end.
Also I don’t mind losing a bit of the end. If they want to overbore, machine center, or turn down 1/2” for grinding, that’s a lot better than losing 4-5” of length.
I do wonder if a lathe with grinding attachment will work. I hear they’re a mess to use but for doing barely more than a spark-off it might be ideal.

I totaly agree with you and I haven't even gone through a third of the trouble you have gone through.Mine is sub 12 so has given me a lot of problems, I tried two of the Skout barrels but gave up and bought a Lothar Walther blank and machined to fit and this sorted my accuracy problems, but I have since been pursuing single figure FPS with no success, I get close, and then it all goes pear shaped, and I have to start over again, I have done quite a few modifications and although some have helped in the long run it just doesn't seem to stick, I am now thinking of getting some new regs especially since they have been updated as I always get quite a lot of creep that last for 5-10 shot before settling down but leave it for five mins and its creeping again, I am getting near then end with this rifle and thinking of selling as it just doesn't perform as advertised.
What cal is the M4 now and what cal slugs would you like to entertain? Are you looking to get coyotes, skunks, racoons, small hogs?I am new to to pcps, but I have bought a few in the last couple weeks. Huben gk 1 in .25 that i have a folding stock coming for it ( truck gun ) and a notos .22 for my son. Have my eyes on a few others... Wouldn't mind having a dedicated slug setup and I think the M4 is in the lineup for that role for now.
This is the one I bought,
This is the one I bought. I think you're right it will only fill my guns.
