The more you shoot an 18" in a high power, the less it bothers you...
I wouldn't mind knocking a couple inches off the Model 14"s barrel, though I realize it may be the worst kind of apostasy--worse even than putting a synthetic stock on a G33. And as I learned on 24hr, the heretic receives a special place in hell for that. But maybe they meant something like a first class seat...
Anyway at 7# even, it is a sweetheart for what I use it for. Practically perfect, just like what's her name.
