I knew MM, and remember him saying that.
I invited him to a private pigeon shoot, and told him we could test that "choke boring is obsolete" theory on a 30 bird race.
I offered to buy his birds even, but told him there would be some money up on the outcome. It never happened.
MM knew his stuff on shotguns though, and was a great gunwriter.
