Well its shorter now. I will post pictures tomorrow after school when can I take them in some better light conditions so you can get a good look at my epic skill in Dremel barrel machining. Too bad I will not be able to use a suppressor with it now but hey its now a better length. I think it looks as good as if it had been done on a lathe. BTW now it looks just like the gun Robert De Niro used. You don't have a flash? Or a lightbulb? Or even a flashlight? Ok, officially in before the pending dissapointment. |

Well why use a real dremel tool when Harbor Freight sells a cheap knockoff. Use a 20% off coupon and get a free something to boot!

I personally would use a chopsaw. Clamp it in, squeeze the saw trigger and chop, just like cutting a pipe at work. Maybe employ a vari-bit to recrown.
If you end up dissatisfied with it, and your buddies make fun of it, you could pass the blame and claim it to be a Century build. Seems plausible. |

To smooth the cut, wire the barrel to your vehicle's bumper with the cut end just touching the ground. Do a few laps around the neighborhood. Perfect finish guaranteed. And no need to blue it, just Sharpie the shiny bits.

It's a shotgun, not a Palma rifle.
I took a ragged old 870 to a reputable gunsmith to have him shorten the barrel. He chucked everything up nice in the lathe, got a good cut started - then took it out of the lathe, finished the cut with a hacksaw and smoothed the muzzle with a hand held grinding ball. |

Just score the barrel with the Dremel. Once you score the barrel it should just snap off if you bend it a little bit.
Also don't be afraid to bend it back and forth if it doesn't snap on the first bend. 4150 is some tough steel, it can take the abuse.

gunsmith do it. |

Nice!
 Technically that was part of the barrel. It looks like they really thought that setup out pretty well. It makes it easy to convert to an SBR once the stamp clears. Is the inside of the flash hider threaded for a blank adapter? I have the Sig 556 version so it has an AR type flash hider.
