When asked to reduce barrel length the shortest I will cut and crown to is 18 1/2" on either rifle or shotgun. To the best of my knowledge it is unlawful to reduce the length of a factory barrel to less than 18" or end up with an overall length of less than 26"
Now with that said we are all aware of factory made 12 or 14" barreled 870 clones and some shorty 10-22 variants that are non restricted, but they left the factory that way and as such get a pass for some reason. However one cannot take a sporter 10-22 or a 30" barreled duck gun and chop it to bits so it fits in the glove box and not raise some eyebrows. D.H.
