I was thinking of ordering one of those $140 semi sas12 . I would like to cut the barrel to 18.5" but have read that if you do that on a semi auto you have to enlarge the gas ports. Is that true? How would you go about that? Thanks
 
How long is barrel and why do you wish to cut it? Just curious.

I've been going the other way with auto shotguns. Started with an 18.5 and went to 22" and now thinking 24 or 26. Although part of my reasoning has been extended mag tubes that are long anyway so figure I'd rather have the extra sight radius. But with mag fed, tube length is moot I guess.

Edit: not familiar with that gun but usually it is as simple as drilling the gas port as BB says. Measure carefully and don't go overboard. A friend did his (a CZ 712) at the range with a hand drill.
