phydaux,
What are you going to do about the space between the barrels? Most O/Us have two side ribs and a cap at the muzzle. When you cut the barrels you expose the void between the side ribs.
As to the rib, some are free floating at the mid supports (like the Simmons on a Model-12) and others aren't. I shortened a spare barrel for a M-1100 Trap by cutting it at the rib support and having it re-threaded for the screw-ins. I don't think I'd consider a similar project for an O/U simply because I don't have a clue how well it would be regulated upon completion.
Do your friend a favor, and steer him towards a new barrel instead of a hack job.
