Stan, my friend, the Repro has 32" barrels? The Honker has 34" barrels?

Dove and ducks beware! A darned nice arsenal, Stan.

My bad, Bill. The Sarasqueta, of course, has a 36" barrel. Typo will be corrected. Thanks!

I don't have a Repo. Which one were you referring to, the DHE? It was completed in 1928/29.

A little more info. The Wingmaster barrel was backbored by a former cardshooter for extremely tight patterns. It is now .062" constriction (XXXXF ? ). I've shot a few sporting clays with it and found it handles surprisingly well. I do not expect it to pattern well with larger (5s, 4s, etc.) shot for waterfowl, but will get around to testing it eventually.

Stan, I don't know how I got a Repro in my head. Great guns.

Stan, Askins wrote about diminishing returns with chokes being too tight with larger shot resulting in blown patterns.
