I recently saw a rifle (pedersoli kentucky i believe) that had about ten inches cut off of it, basically sawn down to the main pin. Was wondering... how common was it to see a cut down RIFLE in the 18th Century? It seems like a good idea to me, as I would want to have a short, rifled gun on my saddle if I were going off into the woods back in the day. Just wondering how PC it is.
