Hi everyone, thanks for posting some pretty usefull info. I spoke to the gunsmith and he said it was possible to add two mercury recoil reducers, and not tapper the barrel much, to add some weight, and take away some recoil. I am still undecided, might have to do a ring around and see what the components cost and compare to what the fella wants.

The gunsmith said that it would cost close to a 1000 bucks to get everything done, including iron sights. Will just have to wait and see
