What I was thinking, with the cut barrel and choke idea, I would probably cut a factory cylinder choke flush for 18.5", that way I would have a 18.5" cylinder barrel for no reason other than just being short. If I wanted to hunt coyotes and shoot for tight groups I could thread in a full length factory modified or full choke, that would get me back to 20" and simply be the factory choke exposed 1.5" out of the cut 18.5" barrel. If that makes sense... or is possible....
I just measured an Invector plus choke. If I cut 1.5 inches off the front to fit a 18.5" barrel flush, that would bring me right to the top of the Invector Plus choke's threads. So I could cut 1.5" off of the factory chokes and still have the full thread surface for install. I would just be missing the 1.5 inches of barrel supporting the full length chokes if I installed them for 20"....... Sounds like a hastle, but I cant see why it wouldnt work.
