[QUOTE="IllinoisBurt, post: 1628513, member: 35752"] Before you take off a barrel, have you thought about just adding weight to reduce the recoil? That's how our forefathers of yesterday tamed recoil and it does work. Still commonly done with shotguns. Could simply remove the butt plate, drill one or two 5/8" holes 5" deep and fill with lead shot. Or go fancy and get the mercury filled inserts. Replace butt plate and enjoy shooting. Easy to reverse in the future with a hardwood dowel and glue. Drilled from the butt will not hurt the strength of the stock. [/QUOTE]
