[QUOTE="65ny, post: 3120094, member: 24499"] These threads always turn into silly arguments over dumb crap. Hacksaw, cut off wheel on a hand held grinder, band saw, lathe, chop saw, tubing cutter.....there are many correct ways to cut a shotgun barrel. I've done it with a hacksaw and also with a tubing cutter. Both required some clean up with files and sand paper. I prefer the tubing cutter method, but you have to start slow to prevent creep and you also have to tighten the cutter in tiny increments or you'll smoosh the barrel into a funnel shape. (I know because I did it) If you take your time you can make the barrel look pretty nice and a dab of cold blue really finishes off the cut end. Drilling and tapping for a new bead is kind of a pain in the azz because finding the top of the barrel is difficult without a proper jig/fixture, but it can be done. [/QUOTE]
