I don't know about that "sow's ear" business. I do know that my last two projects, one costing $400 for the raw material, the other $700, turned into wonderful guns that show no sign of their humble and rusty beginning. Both have astounding barrels and badly neglected "other parts".

If you want an open choked shooter and the barrels have been cut, so what!!!
Ask if you can pattern the gun, go shoot it, and if it shoots where you look and the price is right, go for it. If your looking for a fast flip, then walk away.
I shoot a number of Parker's with cut barrels and they suit my needs just fine. As far as balance, feel if you will, 2 inches of the barrels weigh only a few ounces and you may be able to bore almost that much from the butt stock. Now you will have a lighter gun to carry and the money you save will give you lots of range time on the skeet field.
