Perhaps this is discussed in the back issues section but I cant figure out how to search which issue.

On page 100 of Peter Johnson's book ("Parker, America's Finest Shotgun"), he illustrates and describes tools and process used in the barrel and choke boring operation. I have also heard this tool referred to as a "nut borer" in this context, but can't remember when or where.
