Concerning Ken Hurst's great work upgrading field grade guns, I have one in the hopper as we speak. However, the chokes will remain at full and full. It will be my dream Fox pigeon gun when finished.
Eightbore....does it bother you that the chokes in your gun would be useless to me? Just curious what you'd do if one were destined to be your "dream woodcock gun?" or your "dream vintage skeet gun?" How about a 30", 6 lb, Fox 20ga with .032/.034" chokes? Would that be a dream anything?
On topic.... I have 5 Foxes that were raped by Mike Orlen. Each was rechoked to within .001" of my ideal. Not because that tolerance is absolutely necessary, but because he could and would. I wouldn't trust Briley, Inc. to do that on a bet. Each of the 5 is choked perfectly for the task I apply them to, and not one is either Cyl or Full. As far as I know, Burt Becker didn't make grouse guns or target guns, so I've relied on Mike Orlen.
