I agree that non-documented cut barrels are a detriment to the value of a gun. Certainly the lack of any choke at all severely limits the use of such a gun but there are some kinds of shooting/hunting that can be done with an open choked gun. Generally a non-factory barrel cutting is just that - cutting off 2" (usually) to eliminate the chokes and maybe trimming and squaring the barrel ends, while a factory job includes reinstalling the keels and relaying the ribs - the correct way that, when documented, does nothing to the gun's value. So much for barrels - in my opinion, similar things can be said of various other alterations. If it can be documented, no problem.
