I second Dean for choke work, and helping with regulation issues. Willingness to take time to discuss the work being requested goes a long way with me, and he is the best at that I've ever dealt with. I sent him a 20 ga. double that I had determined had regulation issues. It cross-fired badly with 7/8 oz. loads, to the tune of 8" each way at 25 yards. He said, in phone conversation, that he would do what he could to move the patterns for me. When he called back with the verdict he said that all the gun needed to regulate perfectly was to use 1 ounce loads at about 1150 - 1175 fps. He could have modified the muzzle interior profiles to try to move the patterns for me with the lighter loads, and I'd never have known the difference. But, Dean is an honest man and felt I would be happier with using the one ounce loads. I am.

He also opened the chokes on it, and lengthened the chambers to 2 3/4 inches. Perfect work, and no change in regulation from the choke "relieving" done.

Color me a big fan of Dean Harris.


May God bless America and those who defend her.
