vizlauk 1,568 Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 There's more to it than just chopping the barrel ! Loss of power, loss of accuracy, barrel will need recrowned, if he doesn't know what he's doing , tell him to leave it alone, sell it & buy a carbine hw80 2 Quote Link to post
pianoman 3,587 Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 I can only add to reinforce what has been said already. DON'T TOUCH THE BARREL. Whatever you do. Viz's suggestion is by far the best. Sell it to Mark and buy an HW80K carbine. Everyone happy! Quote Link to post
Baldcoot 2,352 Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 Mark is the Vintage shooting man ,and to touch the barrel is not just Satanism it,s like insanely pointless.Carbine,s are 2 a penny please listen to Viz and let Mark give it a good home. The money will get u a goodly range of carbine,s to choose from atb Quote Link to post
