A friend of mine has an old H&R 12 ga. with a 28" barrel. Her idea is to put it in a leather scabbard that will attach to a horse saddle. The problem is the barrel is too long to fit properly in the scabbard. So rather than cutting off the end of the scabbard and have the barrel hang out, the thought came up to trim off about 6-8 inches from the barrel. That will also allow the gun to be drawn out easier.
Using #8 shot (if that matters), will a shortened barrel significantly change the dynamics one way or another? I thought that doing a little research first might be the way to start rather than begin by chopping up the barrel and finding out later that wasn't a good move. (You can't unring the bell.) Any thoughts on this? Thanx.
