[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2778573, member: 15054"] I took a pipe tubing cutter and snugged it around my barrel and gave it a twist and made a line. I then removed the cutter and began hacksawing the barrel with a new hack saw blade.. the barrel to my surprise was very soft. The softest steel i ever cut with a hacksaw. I then took a file and filed the muzzle end very flat and then crowned it. I cut the barrel just in front of the line the tubing cutter made.. I left the line for reference. If you have a disc sander a table top type with a fence you can lay the barrel against the fence and square up with the disc and sand the barrel flat while turning the barrel against the fence. Keeping it square with the disc sander. [/QUOTE]
