17m2 shorty???
« on: January 03, 2011, 05:58:49 AM »
Ok now have a survivor stock on the 17m2 but am finding the barrel to be a little on the heavy side.  Has anyone cut one of these down to 18'' yet and/or changed the barrel profile (seems to be a little extra metal there).  Am concerned about affecting the accuracy of this barrel but am finding the current status un-handi.  Any thoughts or experiences would be appreciated.

once again it pays to read before I post.  It looks like mine is going to be 18+a little grace to be legal here in the north country.  My 45-70 already got that treatment.  Looks like the 45 colt is going to be my long barrel handi rifle.   Thanks for the input.
