[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 996312, member: 7123"] Not worth the expense/hassle involved in shortening the mag tube. Do what I did - either: - Shorten an old (or new) Win/Rem/Moss/Sav/Stev/Marl/Glen turnbolt to 16" ($50 cut n crown), or - Get a CZ 452 Scout (or "American 16"). If you add a simple slip-on recoil pad to the Scout, like a nice Pachmayr, it works for adults, albeit still a bit on the short LOP side. I've done both. Or, get yourself a Walther or 10/22 bullpup if you want a really short OAL. Also, Rossi single shot .22s are like 16.5 bbl - really light handy simple rifle. And cheap. [/QUOTE]
