One of my bucket list items is to get my 1962 Browning Belgian FN A5, that I received for my 12BD, Cut. My father, bless his soul, was old school and swore that a shotgun needs 30inch barrels to be effective. I would like to get mine cut to 20inch and have it threaded for choke tubes. Why still on the list, a friend gave me an old Ithica M-37 Police, 18inch open bore, that slam fires nicely,

Thank you very much
Not sure I would chop a significantly personal and valuable weapon like an Auto 5. You will ruin its value and utility.

Until the Wuhan virus, you could have bought a nice new Mossberg riot gun for $400 or so.

Lesson learned: Don't wait till a crisis hits to make your preparations.
