You know I got a box full of them that folks send in to cut up to make built barrels.  I think I will play with it to see if I can come up with something to help the old school guys/gals out.

Most of those chokes say to use mod or more open chokes on any steel shot. I wonder what the damages could be if you went to the X-full setting and used HTL. My guess is not much if it is shot very few times.

RAJ,we fired this gun 11 times counting the shot that took the bird with the Fed. hwt 7's so far,all were
shot with the Polly screwed as tight as it would go and at 40 yards it shot well for what it is.the bird
was shot at 29 steps stone dead!

SumToy I just sent you a PM about work on this gun for my friend!!!! :you_rock:
