I have an old Glenfeild Mod 25 that I have used for coon hunting for years. The only problem is that it carries like crap in the woods. It's balence is awful and the barrel too long. For years I've thought about taking it to a smithy and getting the barrel cut downn but don't know if I want to spend the $$ on a gun only worth $50.

Is it possible to perform this job at home? Does anyone have any tips or links?

I know this isn't normally done but on a inexpensive gun like this it might be worth it to try. I'm not gonna be out much if it doesn't work. Thought I'd cut it down to arounf 17" so if I mess it up I can take it to the smith and have him finish down to 16"

Thanks,
CB
