It must be manufactured from scratch.
You can't cut a pre-existing shotgun barrel below 18".
It doesn't matter if you have a manufacturing license or not.

I'd recommend purchasing a Dlask 870 Shorty. Barrels are amazing and work is excellent. 8.5"! They fabricate a beautiful heavy barrel from a blank and as well produce the arms and forend. I have an 8.5 and it's one gun I'll never separate with. I ordered it with the short LOP hogue stock and they send you a pistol grip as well but obviously it's restricted if you choose to install it.
Thanks, BTW who makes the "blanks" you speak of? does Dlask do all the metallurgy, forging/casting and maching in house? That's one hell of a barrel
Yes I believe all in house!

That's what I was saying too! That would be awesome, run a 10 round mag! . Personally I wouldn't want anything shorter than 12-14" , but mag fed, that way you have a choice of compact 3 round mag or 10 round, maybe more! Quick initial loading and reloading!at this type of length, a mag-fed would make more sense![]()
