When I was in graduate school, I made pocket money by shortening the barrels on 722s for guys who wished that they had bought 600/660/600Mohawk carbines before Remington dropped them. I'd buy 722s for under $150, mostly in 222 and 300 Savage, shorten/crown the barrels to 20", and install a Williams ramp front sight if the buyer wanted a front sight instead of a slick muzzle.
