G’da gents, hope all is fine. I have a new project. I’m going to customize my Parkerhale Whitworth. I want to shorten the barrel to 33 inches, move the brass nose cap back, shorten the timber in front of the barrel band and shorten the loading rod by three winches. Finally remove the middle barrel band. I don’t think shortening the barrel and removing the middle barrel band will affect the operation of the rifle. However having said that I would greatly appreciate any information in this regard.
Kind regards Bob.
