Cutting an old shotgun the right way

- The customer wanted to shorten the barrel on his old double barrel shotgun. He no longer bird hunts or shoots clay pigeon, so it was just under his bed for home defense. As we all know, 18 inches is the legal limit for a shotgun, so I measured twice and cut once. The overall length went from 26 inches to 18 1/2 inches, half an inch matters..... I feel like it turned out really nice and the customer likes it. Now he can go out and shoot two blasts into the woods to feel safe..... Biden promises this will work. Let me know what you think?
Dang it, you skipped the two parts I was really pumped to see: the actual way you cut the barrel down and the installation of the bead....dang...
That’s what I was gonna say. They always show in the movies the hero using a saw of some kind, really wanted to know how it’s actually supposed to be done
Wait. The title is "Cutting an old shotgun the right way," but you cut the shotgun off-camera?
The title should be "Sanding and bluing an old shotgun the right way."
Lol I didn't thing of it that way. But you are right
Dudnt show the cutting
Professional gunsmith here (35 years in the business). Not how you do a professional job. If you want to do it the "right" way, instead of using JB Weld to fill the space between the barrels, fit a mild steel filler and soft solder, in place. Also, you need to reinstall the front bead.
Thank you for reaching out I knew jb weld was a cheap/ fast fix and I like the idea of mild steel and soft solder in place.
Pretty cool how you turned the barrels fill of metal shavings and abrasive back towards the firing pin and triggers... good work on that..
Does anyone recognize make & model ? Chopping up a foreign job is one thing...classic American is another.
It's a Spanish made shotgun
You need to keep the text on for longer, it comes and goes way too fast. I have had to go back and pause really quickly so I can read what the hell you were saying.
Thanks I will do that next video
What did u use to cut it?
The customer's request was very reasonable and legitimate. I have an older Kassnar (by Zabala - Spain) 20ga SXS with 28"barrels (I bought way cheap). Looks exactly like the 'subject' firearm. I am considering cutting barrels to 18.5", re-installing the bead, and do a good job of filling the end gap. WHY? I'm looking for a 'travel gun.' Compact and legal all over, especially when I have family in upstate NY (where laws seem to change by the minute!) and Michigan (where who knows?) - but this is a Joe Biden suggestion for a home defense gun LOL! I am experienced doing these modifications and have several other quality 20ga shotguns - including an Ithaca SKB 100. Why not have a 'legal 18 1/2" package' (broken down) to travel with?

Hmmm, misleading title, and crap music. Recipe for another channel to ignore.
The few I’ve cut, I made sure they were 18 & 1/2”, or 19”. I actually tested the pattern spread with 7&1/2 shot and 00 shot. It didn’t seem to make any difference. But those lengths make sure you don’t get it too short. Some rulers seem to be short . . ..
plus that gives me peace of mind.
Just my humble opinion.
After reading this I panicked a little and checked it with another tape measure. We are safe it's 18 1/2 in. Interesting about the spread.
just don't use a ruler supplied by the atf!
In weld? Nah, silver solder the gaps…
Оторвать руки и собакам отдать..ты испортил ружьё
Для чего Крис вы испортили хороший дробовик?
Joe would be proud , lol
क्या बैरल छोटा करने से इसकी मारक क्षमता कम नहीं हो जायेगा
IMHO, generally, no. Most shotshell powder burns within 18". In one test I read, the velocity loss between 18 1/2" and 26" was negligible.
Magic??
Why ruin a perfect shot gun
What's what the customer wanted
The customer can fuck himself.
You probably like polymer guns be quiet
Quite the opposite. I like making gun stocks and rebuilding old guns. Im not into plastic guns although I have 3 with plastic stocks. @ZachsCamClips
Why Ruin a Shotgun by Cutting.the.barrells ???? its a no no in the.Sporting world .....
If the goal is a home defence weapon, cutting is a great idea.
A 24 or more barrel is hard to maneuver in confined space of a hallway, and intruder will be less than 20 feet from you, so one shot will take care of threat.
Why you cut why ????
To saw it off😅 lol
Looks illegal.
Still Leal, anything over 18 1/2 inches is legal
Chimp
Bet that thing kicks like a mule now
Nice job and no use to put a front sight back on.
Como danificar um cano perfeito!😂😂😂😂😂.
What do you mean. How are you messing it up
This is an ATF entrapment.
BS!
