What I do.

[Gerald McPherson]

As Paul Harvey would say, here's the rest of the story.
Why would someone do that to a gun it this condition? Only thing I can think of was to make a cold weather duck gun. LOP is just under 13 inches. I am short and it feels short to me just in shirt sleeves mounted and pointing it level but when I raise the muzzle skyward it stays with my eye perfectly.
