Coey conversion into target riffle.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't you just make this a prohibited firearm by cutting the barrel too short? It'd suck for your son to have to lose his gift.
Here's the info you need prior to cutting the barrel.

Sorry to say you now own a prohib.
Luckily cooeys are a dime a dozen. Pick up another one and transfer all your work over to it, but this time keep the barrel over 18"

You can make a barrel from a blank, but you are not supposed to make a barrel shorter if it was one already.
Dumb and painful, but them's the rules in place.
Since you have machining capability, buy a blank and start from there. Cooey barrels are pressed and/or pinned in place. Not rocket surgery to get apart and re-install a NEW barrel. Folks like Mysticplayer, Obtunded, Jaunvaldez, or several others can sell you a suitable blank. Dlask Arms, and Bits of Pieces are two manufacturers that get mentioned a lot.
As a cover with the lad, I'd suggest sticking to the "there's a problem and I have to take the barrel off to fix it" line. Not untrue.
I'd like to see pictures!

Buying another Cooey would be a lot cheaper than buying any blank. Unscrew the barrel retaining screw, push the barrel out, swap in a replacement, which has been cut to no less than 18". Or just swap out the barrelled action - would be easier, no headspacing issues. In the meantime, I would suggest deleting your post.
