I have an old Springfield 67H. 12ga.
This is one LONG gun. I mean you pull the trigger, and a few minutes later the shot exits the end of the barrel in the next county.
I want to shorten it up into a critter blaster for my wife. (she's had it with squirrels tearing up her garden)
She has a judge, but the distance is pretty poor.
Anyway, I know I can safely cut the barrel down to 18.5 inches and still be legal, right?
I have a question or two though.
Is there any law regarding turning the stock into a pistol grip?
And, how much will the pattern be affected taking 14 inches off of the barrel?
Sorry if I sound dumb. I'm more of a pistol guy.
Thanks for any input.
Joe
