It might work...I'd love to try it. My cousin's Dad got him the gun when he was younger and he sold it to a friend later on. Well the friend is the one that cut the barrel off and was going to sell it or through it out when my cousin found out and asked for it back. It's more of a sentimental thing as his Dad has passed away but I told him I'd see if I could get him a barrel and fix it up. PM me Dave and we'll work out the details.
Thanks
David
