Hey that's great news.
You know for all the blathering we do about "gotta do it this way" or "That way", They say the way the Germans apply the swaged dovetail grooves at the front sight of their barrels actually provides an effective choke. I would guess they swage that dovetail in one swat of a 40 ton press.

We all have different tools available, so it's good to have a catalog of several methods to accomplish the same thing. I used to enjoy the DIY shows on TV, because they would show several approaches to the same operation. Now they hinge the project on one specific tool, of course with specific product placement.

My take was a Chauvet cave painting. Bob's was the Mona Lisa. Both are important. |

| excellent thread guys! Ive been thinking of choking a few barrels but my method was to machine the diameter of the muzzle down and press a sleeve on to it thats about 0.0015 thou smaller. |
