Gerry, if I wanted to shorten a carbine or artillery barrel, could you saw off the front sight band, bore it out, turn down the barrel stub and silver-solder the front sight band back on???

I would try it myself but I am not confident in my ability to solder the band back on without slobbering up the entire muzzle with solder...
