in the 80s and early 90s the manufactures were MAKING them that length.....eg my model 70 lightweight poohseventy left factory at 21" as did many many others.... heck fellas on this forum are chopping magnums..... funny really...or not depending how you look at it... gunsmiths and chop shops will be rubbing their hands together,they get $$$$$ anywhich way you alter rifle...and possibly 2nd suck of tit when it onsells and new owner wants to change it again.
