How much weight did you get trimmed total? Link to the stock you had installed?
I have a Guide Gun with the laminate stock. Dropping some weight would make it handier.
Please don't feed the trolls!

Sorry to see a 1895GS gone for ever.... I can only imagine the muzzle blast and recoil now

Sorry to see a 1895GS gone for ever.... I can only imagine the muzzle blast and recoil now Can hardly imagine 2" of barrel making that much difference. And I don't hotrod my .45-70 either, so I'm not worried about recoil. In fact, with the kevlar construction and stock ergos, the recoil may feel slightly better. YMMV.

With hot loads I'd bet it's brutal on the ears and shoulder. No thanks
