    Thank you. Mine is 28" so I guess that's a good thing that it hasn't been chopped.

    If you (or someone else) decides to restore this to original mil spec, don't throw away the shortened stock. I can't bring it across the border, or I'd be in the market myself, but there's a number of people who'd pay to take it off your hands.

    That's good to know, thanks. I may actually decide to just list the gun in the classified thread. I haven't quite decided yet.
