Hey Choker!! Nah. Wouldn't cut it. Breaking the Nickel Plate is not good for it. 'Sides, I actually have a couple of guns with 7 1/2 inch barrels. Of course, those long barrel guns are Open Tops and I also have 4 inch barrels too swap with the long barrels. Actually the short barrels are 4 7/16. I cut em at the the ejector assembly.
