I have an old Montgomery Wards 12ga pump (Hawthorne Viking). It's in great shape, light and easy handling, and shoots well. It's not worth anything $$ wise, so I'm thinking of tinkering with it to make it a home defense gun. Problems is it's a fixed full choke. I'd like to find a short (18") cylinder bore barrel, and retain the original barrel as is.

Anyone have any idea where I could find another barrel for this?
It cross references with:
Manufrance-LaSalle, Colt Custom, Hawthorne, Viking, Stoeger #7, H&R 440,Marlin Premier, Kodiak #458. Firearms International Etc
