Well, I decided at worse, I would be no worse off than I am, so am having a gunsmith take an inch off my Omega. I don't have the right tools to be sure it is done right and he is only charging me $75. I stayed there until he had cut it off back to the riflings. He won't be able to finish the job till early next week, but I will be anxious to get out and give it a try with some big conicals. Will let you know.

The tricky part is that I have one of the flip down T handle ramrods that I really like, so he is going to try and cut that back to the right length as well. If that doesn't work, will have to buy one of the cut to fit ones.
