I've done several. On a vent rib barrel you need to cut right at one of the posts attaching the rib. On the Remingtons I've done that means 23", 21", 19" or 17". You don't want 17". I've always cut mine at the post that gave me 21". That way if I messed up i could get a 2nd chance. I've found 21" to be short enough.

Just use a hacksaw and make the cut as square as possible. Use a file and square to get the end of the barrel squared up and remove any burrs from the inside of the barrel. Use cold blue to touch up. This is a 10 minute job the 1st time you do it and under 5 minutes after doing it once. I use one of the fiber optic sights that clamp onto the rib for a sight. Mine have always worked great.
