Hi Everyone,
I am going to be shortening some 12 bore hulls and am looking for some cutter recommendations from those of you that have done this before. There seem to be several cutters available on market, any advice?
Thanks in advance,
Lee
PS: Thanks once again to those who offered input on my son’s Charles Daly O/U.

This is a "dissassembler" for component recovery. May be more what you're looking for. A "cutteroffertolength". Here's another of same: jack

I sinply use a short piece of 1 inch electrical conduit, which is a snug fit over a 12g shell, cut to length so that anything which pokes out the end is cut with a small, sharp knife. Very cheap, very simple, nice and quick, easy to use. RG

Lee, I use a drill press with a dowel that is the right diameter for 10 ga. 12 ga, 16 ga. and 20 ga. Just set the stop to the length you want and move the cutter towards the rotating hull and cuts it clean as can be. It is a box cutter mounted in a piece of 1 1/2" x 1 1/2". These happen to be 20ga. Rem, being cut to 2 1/2" and then I roll crimp all sizes.

Lee, I use an 8" length of 3/4" dowel (for 12 ga.). Drill a 1/8" hole about 1 1/2" from the end and tap in an Xacto blade at approximately a 45 degree angle with the sharp edge towards the end of the dowel that the hull will slip over. (I use the convex curved style blade.) Drill a hole in the end of the dowel and fit a round head screw to adjust for the desired hull length. I tapered the end of mine a bit to allow the hull to slip on easier. Slide the hull on an twist until you reach the desired length. Inexpensive, simple and works like a charm. I wish I could claim to have invented it but I found it either here or another website. Phil
