Hello all,
I am planning to spend some time working on an old single-shot 12 gauge this winter, and I'd like to shorten the barrel length so that it's cylinder bore. I've been reading through various posts on the web and these forums, and I am confused about a particular step.
I am planning to simply use a hacksaw and a vice and/or miter box to make the cut. Once I am done, I understand I will need to file and sand the outer "face" of the barrel mouth. However, when it comes to deburring the "inside" of the barrel mouth, I am not really sure what technique to use.
What tool and method do you suggest using for deburring the inside of the barrel mouth? Is it something that can be done with simple sandpaper? Do I stick a file in there, or does that risk creating uneven surfaces? Do I need some sort of reaming tool to ensure a uniform shape? What do you guys suggest?
Product links are appreciated, as I am pretty uninitiated at this kind of stuff, and visuals would help. Thanks for your time.
