Stan is right. I have never seen a set of double bbls which became parallel at the muzzles. As well as looking down the bores as Stan suggested I have also measured a few sets of bbls. I did this by measuring the bbl od at regular intervals & then measuring total width across the bbls at the same intervals. In every case I measured the bbls continued to converge all the way to the muzzle.
This bbl convergence is put there for the very purpose of causing both bbls to hit at the same point, if they were parallel they would impact apart due to the guns movement prior to the shot exiting the bbls.
So theoretically, cutting the barrels should not change the convergence, and POI should be the same as before, at least with light loads?
I say theoretically, because I realize there are other factors involved that will have an effect on POI as well. Cutting the barrels will reduce the weight and I think that could affect the POI as well.
Am I correct?
