I just thought I would report that the 180 grit flex hone cleaned up the bores to a great extent visually but did not change the measurements. Scott K and I measured the bore and chokes yesterday, still .780 which is where I started and .028 and .029 for constriction. Scott test fired one of his pet turkey loads of 1 1/2 ounces of number 6 and got an 82% pattern from my right barrel at 40 yards. The flex-hone tool might be a good thing to try before going to the next step of removing metal.
