The Short versus The Long or...
I will just inform you that a "conversion kit" is available on (intense) request fra Morini. This consist of a short barrel and 2 short cylinders.
Then you can just rebuild a long barreled Morini to a short barreled one. Or not exactly. You will end up whit a kind of "hybride". The short barreled Morinis have the rear sight moved farther to the rear, to gain sight radius. But an extension piece is available from Morini, so you can move the rear sight of your (now formerly) long barreled Morini rearward. A slight modification to the upper rear corner of the wood grip is necessary to accept the new position of the rear sight.
I have tested these things out, and to me the combination af a long cylinder and short barrel feels about right.
