I found a vendor on Ebay named ht who cut down a 28" Mossberg barrel to 22" for me and rethreaded for choke tubes. Nice job. I used it for turkeys, could have used it for deer, now just HD. I believe he also does Remington. FWIW YMMV

The reason I said, "Never use a tubing or pipe cutter" is that it's the wrong way to cut a barrel. You can scrape it on a sidewalk to get to the length you need, or cut it with a torch, but those aren't the correct way.

Do it the right way.
