    That is wrong in so many ways. I had looked at a new Henry rather than cut up a classic but the loading tube/suppressor thing was an issue. Now if there was a side loader like a Marlin...

    probably not wrong but something short barreled and suppressed like that in 44mag say would be an awesome bush gun or running subs over dogs....and they look cool and allow fast follow ups.
    I seriously considered doing the same thing to my rossi 44 shortening the mag tube and overbarrel set up. short , light , plenty of put down power.
