    Cutting down a classic body

    I am thinking of cutting down the feedneck on my classic mag. If any of you have done this, please tell me if it caused any feed problems. I just want to bring the hopper in closer to the body to eliminate that lopsided feel. Thanks.

      I used a cheap tubing cutter, like you'd use to cut copper pipe. Of course, I went quite a bit slower than I would with copper. I then smoothed the edges with a file. The edges are straight and smooth.

      Keep all of them clean.
