Hi all - First post!
I was given a Weihrach moderater the other day which made me dig out my 40 year old BSA Meteor .22 and fit it to see if it made things quieter - not much! but what it did do in my opinion was improve the appearance albeit it now looks ridiculously long! (17.5" from breech to end of barrel plus the mod = Approx 26").

So my question is - Can i shorten the barrel (and re-crown) by 3" to 14.5" or would this just mess the whole thing up as it is quite accurate to 30yds at the moment?
