    Default Know any 'smiths that cut down barrels?

    Looking to have 2 shotguns cut down to the minimum legal length, don't have the tools to do it myself. Know any any shops in Eastern PA that does it? What kind of price would I be looking at?

    Exactly what kind of shotguns are we talking about here?
    These are the exalted gharāniq, whose intercession is hoped for. LMAO

    Nothing fancy, just two older shotguns I'm looking to do projects with.

    Sorry, I should have been more specific.

    Are these side-by-sides, over-unders, pump actions, bolt-actions or semi-autos?

    If pump or semi-auto, are the barrels easily replaced, Remington-style?

    Also, what will your application for the shortened shotgun be? Self-defense?

    I think you have a number of choices up there in the hard coal region.

    You might consider not doing this if either of those two shotguns are worth something. Cutting the barrels is not something casually done to a classic American double, or an Ithaca 37 pump in halfway-decent condition.

    Long Shot in Dornsife has cut down 2 of my 10ga doubles, he did a fine job. May not be too far of a drive for you, but I like to visit new shops. Cost was under $100 but I had other stuff done too. He is in Dornsife.......

    Oh no, nothing worth much of anything. I'm a mil-surp collector so I don't chop anything with ease.

    The shotguns in question would be a single shot 12 and a Savage 775(a type of Browning A5 clone).

    Uses would be home defense and blasting targets.

    $40.00 each.
    A little more if you want them re-beaded.
