Okay, I have no intention of breaking the law and have no means of actually building (or destructing?) a firearm, but how would one go about building their own short barrel shotgun?
I know there's a ton of legal issues surrounding this subject and I don't need to hear any more of them, this subject always turns ugly when people start throwing out the tax stamp, overall length, barrel length and state law issues/questions. I want to know the bare essentials of doing the deed, not the jumping through hoops.
How can someone cut down a barrel the old fashioned way and not ruin the acoustics of the firearm? I'm talkin' "No Country for Old Men" style, with a hack saw and haste. Would the barrel need to be refinished/filed in any way like polishing and reaming? What kind of saw does this job (I'm a novice carpenter and don't have background in metal working)?
I suppose I'll also repost this in the "Gunsmithing and Repairs" section as well due to the craftsmanship.
AGAIN I HAVE NO INTENT ON BUILDING THIS TYPE OF FIREARM. Just curious in the overall workings of the project.
