Hello all,
I recently purchased an old win. m1200 12g. 2.75 ch. field shotgun. I was considering cutting down the barrel myself to 20". It currently measures 29.5". If i did cut down the barrel would there be a risk of the barrel cracking or exploding? I'm not familiar with the legality of this and want to keep it legal. Also, i cannot find any production info. on this model other than intro. in 1964. Any experiences with 8 shot mag ext. would also be helpful. Want to make a home defense gun and 100.00 didn't seem bad for a base gun.
Thanks all and happy blasting!
