Opening Chokes

[esetter - Gerry Addison]

To anyone that has opened the chokes on your Repro barrels. Question since they are chrome lined did this present any problems when they were opened up, reamed? I've had a number of barrels opened up, but none with chrome lined barrels.

Gerry - I had my 28 Ga Opened by Briley. No Problems - you might want to call them. Billy

Thanks Billy, that helps.

I had my repro 28" 28ga chokes opened by Mike Orlen several years ago with no problems.

Great, sounds like no one has seen a problem cutting into the Chrome lining.

In these days of non-corrosive primers, what advantage is there for chrome lined barrels?

Indeed!

Why do plastic shot cups influence this? Never heard that before

[Dean Romig]

Plastic shot cups, which have been in use since the 60's, not only tighten patterns by virtually eliminating shot deformation - and bore scoring from the more recent steel shot - so I don't get the need for chrome lined bores either.

I believe chrome lined bores were a solution for steel shot
