Use a HACKSAW, not a pipe cutter. I've done several. Cut right through the rib closest to the final length you want. Use a file and square to square up the end and touch up with cold blue. This is a 5 minute job from start to finish. I've used fiber optic sights that fit on the rib to replace the front sight. The barrels work and look great afterward. If you decide to have the barrel re-threaded for choke tubes later that is an option as well.
