Kenny,
I used the wrong term. Bill has only opened chokes for me. Most all of the barrels I sent him were very tightly choked. Asa |

Thanks everyone for the input and suggestions. I decided to go for it because if I could have a "dream" two barrel set it would be 26" Q1 & Q2 and 28" IC & M. I dropped them off with Bill Schwarz last week.
One more question though: If all Repro's have chromed lined barrels, does that pose a problem when the chokes are opened up? |

Marvin,Industrial chrome plating takes about an hour in the tank to coat to a depth of .001. So I would think that whatever you do to the chokes would remove all traces of chrome in the reworked area.

Two questions;
what is it about flush screwin chokes that everyone loves to hate? They are all but invisible and provide a flexibility. What's this about chrome lined bores in the Repro? |

On a fine SXS screw-in chokes are considered by many to be detractors of originality and value.
Original advertising literature says that all Repros have chrome lined tubes. |

Just dropped off my 28 ga Repro at Brad Bachelder's to have the receiver re-case colored. I also took with me both sets of barrels. The 28" barrels, marked M/F were choked .034/.012 and the 26" barrels marked Q1/Q2 were choked .014/.014. Me thinkst the 28" set had already been opened.
By the way: Brad showed me a 20 ga Repro frame they just finished refinishing. It looked very nice - similar to the $49k 28 ga Parkers Tony is/was making. Note: this is not an excuse to start critiquing re-case color jobs and who does/does not do a good job. I am just saying the job he did on that 20 ga was very pleasant to the eye and much better than the sprayed on crap the gun came with. Last edited by Jay Gardner; 03-02-2010 at 06:18 PM.. |
