My gun

they are that long because back in the day before revy's & such, they used a regular hopper. therfore they made a longer feedtube so you wouldnt have to shake your gun to get balls in the chamber. if you did, your long string of shots would not be accurate, or you would chop. now that we have revy's we dont need that long feed tube.

Tom once told us it was to keep you from being able to stick your finger down there and having the bolt chop it off....

I had a cut down one once and with the long nosed bolt it was fine. But I think he should just stick to his plan of getting power feed.
