Pretty much any gunsmith can do this for you.
Problem is, most have several month waits.

Most likely a pipe cutter won’t cut through a steel barrel as they are designed for copper.

Take the barrel off and ship it to someone who will.
File the paperwork ow for the receiver portion
Been calling and emailing places. Just about all of them won't work on class 3 stuff. And the one or two that will want hundreds of dollars for this.
Eff it. Hacksaw it is. Looks like I'll be learning how to install a bead as well.

Any pipe fitters on here? A portable steel bandsaw would make short work of this.
Maybe use one of these facing tools to square everything up after you go to town with the hacksaw.

This is the route I'm taking. I've given up on having a pro do this. I'm at the point of "eff it". I'll be using a hacksaw and a router with this crowning bit to clean up the cut. Should come out relatively nice actually. The stamp, and the tool for this will be the most expensive part of this project.

Be careful with that router. The muzzle crowning tools are meant to be turned by hand.
