Good! I was going to post and say, "Hell no!" That is one of the better looking Brazilians that I've seen, most were pretty rough. I think it'd be a shame to chop it.
Besides, there are 1917s that have already been modified out there. I see them on Gunbroker and at gun shows from time to time. Find one of those instead of butchering up a nice specimen.
