If you are thinking seriously about chopping it ….then you really do need “help”. Restore it by all means, just don’t bastardise it. It’s an heirloom

Probably the most versatile 270 I've had (and I've had one or two) would have been 19" T3, it was nice to point and carry with dpt on it and could still poke 150 LRABs out at 2850 which puts the hurt...
