trashcan - i JUST DID the exact same thing with the same gun you have, save for all the wood working, traded away goods for mine - wondering how you cut yours as well? afterwards, i thought about a pipecutter...duh....
know what you are going to do for a front site yet? i am thinking about a hose clamp that i paint a bead on - heck - i did chop the thing. when i measured mine - i used a dowel down the closed action/barrel - measure 7 times, cut once - you know?
