    Barrel cut down

    I have a fairly new Stevens 320 with a 22" barrel and would rather have it shorter for home defense. Not sure what the law is for the length of a 20ga shotgun but I assume I could go to 18" as Stevens sells one at that size. Not sure where to measure from to get the lawful dimensions.

    From the bolt face, with the bolt closed (obviously).... Just give it an extra 1/8". No point going to jail because it was 0.020" under !

    Thanks for the quick reply. I agree, not gong to jail over a fraction of an inch. But is 18" the shortest it could be cut down?

    For a shotgun, shoulder fired, the answer is yes.
