Need a barrel shortened

[Ura-Ki]

@Ura-Ki what's the hose clamp for?

Clamp the beed square to ether silver solder, or epoxy in place, plus, it acts as a heat sink so you don't over heat the barrel.
If ya do decide to take this on yer self, and you want to silver solder it, get some cheep wall plaster and paint the barrel with it behind the solder area, and stuff a soaking wet shop rag down the bore! if I were back up there, I would just swing by and do it up for ya Cost ya a whole beer!

Or, we could Road Trip to see @MountainBear and get schooled on doing it the right way, but I'm sure Bear would charge us a few cold ones each! Especially the really good Root beer, I hear he is a conisour of top shelf Root beer!

By the way, the proper answer as to how to do the job, at least my way (Velzey probably does it different/better), is to hacksaw the barrel off with about .200" to spare. Then use a facing tool with the correct sized brass pilot, either in a lathe or with a vice and hand drill to square everything up. Then clamp the barrel in the mill and get it leveled out on the receiver and drill and tap the hole for the bead. Loctite the bead in and remove the excess that sticks into the barrel. Properly, this should be done slowly with a hone. Usually, I do this with a needle file and some fine grit sandpaper. Works just fine, you just have to be careful.

I do pretty much the same.
Last couple I've done I finished up on the mill after the hacksaw cut. I have to be honest here. There is just something about taking a hacksaw to a shotgun barrel that makes me think of a Natty lite and a mullet.
Last one was done on the mill mainly because of the vented rib.
