I'm currently putting a TBT kit in my LGV (brilliant service from Nick) and it got me thinking why haven't we got a carbine version of this rifle?

I only hunt and with a mod it does make the rifle a tad long. Surely it cannot be much of an overhead to provide a shorter barrel option?

The alternative of course is to get it done on my rifle itself, but I have no idea whether that would be possible (does the barrel come out of the breech easily?)

Would there be any issues with a shorter barrel?

Thoughts welcome!
