Forrest,

No, no, no! If you cut a quarter inch off the barrels the gun will be worth only half of what it was before!

The British use cylinder and full for field guns. I have a Henry Atkin sidelock 10 gauge with those choke constrictions. At 8 pounds it is deadly in the field!

Load the open barrel with larger shot. It will pattern tightly. Use smaller shot in the full choke barrel.

Please, never cut barrels...
Mark
