(can you put one in my gun, once you get it all figured out?)
Yeah Hext, me an' ol' Rowdy Yates will fix her up for ya. When I first heard about it, I was a bit turned off....thinkin' of silver aluminmum, whixch would just ruin the look of the gun, but it's anondised(SP?) so when it's in, it looks right. Most of the big name 'smiths cut the brass one similar to this, and I've seen some that were cut down even more. Winchester actually use a lightened carrier in the 32WCF 73's, so it's really not a new idea, as far as being lightened, but the aluminum is a new concept.
Doubt it'll make any difference in recoil, but could make the action a bit snappier. We'll see and will report here at CAS City as it's the only place where you can really readily post pictures.
