I've been wanting to shortem my turkey barrel on the 930 since I got it and finally went for it.
The barrel was 24" and I took off about 4". I cut the VR right at the lug and cut the barrel at the rear of the porting.
I then reamed and threaded it so I could reinstall the turkey choke.
My motivation for this is the fact that most turkey chokes extend 1.5 -2" which effectively makes a 24" barrel a 26" barrel. I would have only taken 2" off it but opted to remove all of the porting.
There is a small portion of rib missing on the removed section. I cut the barrel about 1/8" forward of where I cut the VR.
I didn't get a perfectly square cut but the choke tube reamer squared it up after the fact.
I am now missing my front sight. One of the screws on the firesight broke when I loosened it to move the sight. It came to me on another used gun so it may have been stressed from a few installations.
Overall it took me about an hour and a half to complete everything
