Joe, use a hacksaw to shorten. A file to square and then you might want to smooth with crocus cloth. If your lucky you can fill just the opening with solder. Smooth it out and color with Beechwood Casey Solder Black. Don't use a flame as it could heat the barrels enough to allow them to separate. Use a solder gun and just drip it in. You're just filling a hole. It isn't holding anything. I like to shape a small piece of steel to fit the opening, insert about 1/32" to 1/16" deep and then fill with solder. George
