I have a Russian Baikal O/U 12 gauge that I bought for dove loaner duties, and it has gone unused for 10 years. I am ready to put it to use as an HD shotty for the wife, and will be having it cut down to fit her 5' frame.
I plan on having the VR barrell shortened to .5" above the legal 18", and the stock shortened a bit to fit her short reach. The bead will need to be re-staked, and a recoil pad fit to the stock.
Any estimates on what this should run me? Please no flames over the merits of the gun for HD, the importance of training for the wife, the follishness of cutting it down, and why not do it yourself, yada yada. Thanks------
