Jug Choke

[riverrat43]

Besides Danny Caywood, does anyone know of anyone who jug chokes? Would like to just send the barrel if possible. 16 Guage.

There is a guy, I think in Massachusetts, that does it. Name and contact info escape me at the moment, but someone will chime in with it eventually.
If you read through enough topics here about jug chokes you will find it.

I have his information written down somewhere.
Will see if I can find it.

Lowell Tennyson in Blue Grass, IA has been doing it for a lot longer than anyone I know. He's done several for me. The last phone # I have for him is 563 381 3711.

Lowell has done a couple for me. Not sure if he is retired as I think he is 80. Does a great job so give him a call.

Lowell doesn't like to work in the winter as his lathe is in his unheated garage, but you might call him to see for sure. His health hasn't been great in the past couple years either. He has done all of my jug choking for 30 years or more.

Would that have been Mike Orlen in Massachusetts? He posts over on Shotgunworld.

YES!
That’s him. I have not sent any work yet, but he is the only one I have found that will do jug choke work on something besides 12 and 20 gauge.

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, !!!!
That's it! You win the prize.....
But, I can't remember where I put that either

Haven't heard Orlen's name since we were heavy into sporting clays over 20 years ago

Thanks for all of the great responses! I called Danny Caywood and listened to his thoughts and advice and decided that is where I'd get the work done. Just got back from the Fed Ex store and the barrel is on the way! Thanks again!

Interested in jug choking also, but does it change the way a round ball shoots?

 

[Robby]

I have not seen any negative impact on shooting round ball through the four I have done, on one of them it might have had a positive effect.

Just got my barrel back from Caywood. Turn around was pretty quick, about 8 or 9 days after they received it. If it ever stops raining I'm going to try it out!

What was the choke, or pattern percentage before, and what are you expecting now? Please post results too.

Someone told you wrong. All that's accomplished by cutting off the end of a barrel is you get a cylinder bore. Do a search of jug choke to see what it looks like. Internally it resembles a jug, hence the name.
