What is a swamp in your barrels?
that is what you get in your barrel when you trip over a submerged tree root on your way to the blind in the dark.




simply put, a swamped barrel has a curved taper to the outside profile rather than the typical straight taper

in a shotgun, it allows a heavier breech while removing swing weight farther down the barrel
