Son of a gun, my new 1927-A1 Deluxe is one heavy piece of equipment. Need to check on getting this thing SBR-ed and see if it helps the weight issue. Other than being heavy, it is one heck of a thumper. Met a guy at the range today and he just kept saying how sweet of a hog gun it would be. Loaded him a 30 rd stick and turned him loose with it. He never said a thing about the weight, just smiled wide and thanked me for the opportunity to shoot one.
