I'm trying to customize my 11-87 Premier 12 ga to fit my quail hunting needs. It came with a 28" vent rib barrel which I want to keep for shooting clays, etc. However I'm wanting another barrel for quail hunting, somewhere in the neighborhood of 24" and it does not have to have threads for a choke considering I am wanting the full dia of the cylinder bore for a better spread on shot. I hate to spend $250+ to buy a new 26" vent rib just to cut down to suite me. Does anyone know of anywhere that does custom barrels for a reasonable price or where I can just find a 24" vent rib barrel with or without choke threads?? I have tried Midway USA and some random googled sites with not luck on exactly what I am wanting. Should I just buy another barrel and cut it down? All opinions are welcome and appreciated!

Thanks.
