I am trying to shave as much weight as I can and with a 11" LOP even a 25" barrel is nose heavy. I also like nothing tighter than cylinder bore to start the kids. I have a vent rib mod and full barrel in the case already, so I figured I would butcher the plain barrel.

The gun was 5# 14oz when I weighed it this morning before removing another 3/4" of stock and bobbing the barrel 4". I am hoping for around 5 1/2 lbs. Enough weight to be manageable to shoot and swing.
