Before you do that I have a 30" plain barrel that has had the choke reamed out for steel shot. I got a nicer vent rib barrel and was going to chop it for home defense. Its had a lot of hunts and about a 25 year old duracoat job but it isn't rusted and it's 3". I'll see if I can get you some pics tomorrow. If you think it will work you can make me an offer and promise me some pics of the boy holding some birds.
