12 inch Shotgun barrel?? (Defensive modification)

hey all....currently i'm on the search for a good defensive shotgun...Remington 870 is my top choice right now, I have looked at the express magnums, police magnums, and the marine. however the overall length of these shotguns concerns me. I am concerned that an attacker may grab it from me, that and it is harder to manuever around the house. I could put a pistol grip on it, but its the barrel length that im concerned with. The less that is toward the attacker the better. so it comes down to this.... I have seen several short barrel shotguns out there, I know someone is taking mossberg shotungs and cutting them to 12.5 inches ("Shorty") and then there is the "Super Shorty" with a 6 or 7 inch barrel or something. Scattergun Technologies produces shotguns with barrels at 14".It must be legal to do this, after a lot of red tape would assume.What i would like to do is get a police magnum or express magnum and cut the barrel flush with the mag tub cap (12-13") and keep the original buttstock on it, sling, sidesaddle, and light.The following link has 2 pictures of pretty much exaclty what i want to do... http://hometown.aol.com/bishop042/SBR.html I contacted "Bishop" and he somewhat explained to me how he did it legally, but since i know there are lots of law enforcement members here, i thought i would ask you all as well.Let us assume that price is no object. What hoops do i need to jump through to do this?Thanks... kaddy
