Thanks for the undeserved kind works re the choke article, but that is not my work. I dropped the magazine a few years ago, so I cannot easily read the article. It is nice that they are publishing some technical information.

Dennis your right the article is by Delbert Whitman Jr of Traverse City, Michigan, It's a good article about what I always suspected that with the new plastic shot cups chokes are much tighter than with the old fiber wads.

Correction:- Patterns may be tighter with plastic wads compared with fibre wads , but chokes do not change .

After being surprised by an American gun or two but still being able to save my arse I now bore all monoblocks in the mill after cutting. Normally you can follow the chamber, but a few have required redirection. Calling the cut chamber section of a set of barrels a monoblock is not technically correct. A monoblock is just that, a single piece of steel. A cut off section of barrels is not a monoblock, unless it started out as one piece. Most, dont. Best, Ted

I use the British gunmaking term "trousers" as taught to me by len Bull.

Still, you knew what I was discussing. Ill let others argue semantics and Ill stick to the work.

It doesnt actually take any more effort to use the terminology correctly. A craftsman with a good grasp of the terms and the ability to help a layman with the description of the work is a better craftsman.

Well, so much for not arguing, and sticking to "the work". I have to agree with Ted on this one. We've seen folks corrected for the use of incorrect terminology about a million tomes over the years on this forum. He's absolutely right, and there is nothing wrong with providing the correct information. For the record, I haven't done any pipe-fitting on any doubles, Well... you should know what I'm talking about...
A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.
