Can the barrel of a shot gun be cut down as long as its not under the legal limit?
Under US Federal law, a shotgun not registered as an SBS must have a barrel at least 18 inches long, and an overall length of at least 26 inches. The barrel will need to be cut squarely, and the muzzle recrowned. This should NOT be attempted with a pipe cutter (it crimps the metal inwards) and is best performed by a gunsmith with a lathe. Would strongly suggest staying an inch above the minimums to allow for errors in measuring and finishing the metal.
What is a ported barrel?
