I’ve had an absolutely genius (or idiotic) idea.
Chop a non-ribbed shotgun barrel to just before minimal legal length, thread the outside diameter muzzle end of it for XXXX thread mount a bead/whatever just past the threads, then thread the chopped piece’s inside diameter (end opposite bead) for the same XXXX thread; screw em together, lap or hone the seam until it’s perfectly seamless- no transition.
Waa lah. You now have an “extenda-barrel” scattergun. No need to “swap barrels”... just unscrew the muzzle end thread cover, screw the extra length of barrel off or on, and your good to go.
Outside of having to keep track of the extra barrel length, how well would this actually work in real life ?
