? About shortening a double barrel side by side

[Carl N. Brown]

Cheaper doubles have the barrels well anchored at the breech
and at the muzzle, but the barrels are not necessarily well-soldered
to the top and bottom ribs for the full length of the barrel.
(makes me leery of sawing off a double myself).

I satisfied my interest in a short double by buying a Baikal Bounty
Hunter, 20" cyl/cyl, 2 3/4" chambered 200.00 NIB.

I made a "coach gun" out of an old 16ga Fox sxs. It was my grandfather's. The only reason I did it was the right barrel end was split. I turned a useless gun into a functional gun. My gunsmith did an outstanding job.

Anyways, to reverberate what others have said..."If it works, don't mess with it. Buy a Stoeger, Spartan, etc. etc."
