I got a Remington Spartan (baikal) 12ga last week, and I was planning on getting my gunsmith to shorten it to 20". Turns out he is very busy right now and I would be on a 2 month waiting list. So.. what do I need to know to saw this thing off?

Two specific questions:

I've heard that you have to fill in the gap between the barrels with solder. What kind of tools do you need? What keeps the barrels together if there is an empty gap between the barrels?

What can I use for re-blueing?
