As for the barrels not being chromed in the choke area,we specifically asked for the SS guns to be chromes throughout.At the time the steel loads were not as well designed as now.We were afraid that continual use of steel shot would wear out the chokes.It added a step to the barrel making process,but it was important at the time because no one really knew what steel shot would do over time.The standard barrels were not chromed because they were initially all full choked and were final choked late in the process depending on the need.
