I cut mine down, I cut it to where an elbow would just barely be fully on (it ended up about the length of the feed tube on a right feed cocker). I didn't worry about covering up the exhaust hole because I had a longnose bolt and a revvy, so blowback wasn't an issue. That gun is now owned by Prairie of IPR, if you'd like to get in touch with him and see how it's working out for him.

I cut mine down as well. It decreases your profile and looks better. I did use a hacksaw, and a lot of sandpaper. I was able to smooth everything off and it works as well as before, if not a little better. Good luck. I have pics if you want to e-mail me @ [email protected]

i cut mine off with a grinder & a cookie wheel. i hav ealot of tools so i didnt need a hacksaw. i also coned the feed port & sanded it to get it smooth w/ 400 grit sand paper.
