Tried searching the forums - couldnt find info on this so either there isnt any or I suck terribly at searching...
At any rate, I need some input.
I have an old SxS 12ga Hartford Arms double. 30" barrel, "Genuine Armory Steel - choke bored" is engraved on the barrel. I cant tell if this is Damascus/twist or not. in any case, I plan on cutting this down to 20" for more of a coach gun look.
What problems or issues can I expect from this cutting? I've heard all kinds of stories about barrels flying apart; welds separating; etc, etc, etc...I'd really like to know what to expect when I cut this down - THATS the reason Im asking here - I believe you folks to be most knowledgable than any other forum I've viewed....I'm not concerned about gun devaluation. This is a project gun that I am playing with.
Your thoughts would be appreciated...Thank you in advance.
