jug choking a barrel

[smokepole tc]

I would like to have my 11 bore jug choked does it work and who does this kind of work

 

[Stumpkiller]

Yes, it works. I have a jug choked 12 gauge.

The gunsmith who did mine has since retired.

 

[Micah Clark]

There's a lot on this subject on this forum . . may be able to find it in the search function.

As I recall, it tends to cost about $100 from what I've read.

Danny Caywood does good work.

Lowell Tennyson in Blue Grass, IA has been jug choking for years. I have a number of barrels he has choked that all perform well. Last one was 2-3 years ago; as I recall cost was $60 plus shipping.

My experience has been that there are many people who have had it done, but all the guys that do other than 12 or 20 gauge have either retired from doing it or died. ( or both ).

Does anyone know if Bobby Hoyt does this work?

Considering all the miraculous things he can do with barrels, he should be able to jug choke anything from .22 to Mountain Howitzer in his sleep. :grin:

I have 2 12 ga barrels jug choked by Danny Caywood. Both shoot very good.

 

[Eric Krewson]

I had two 12ga barrels choked by Caywood as well. One is on my fowler and shoots a very nice group.

I sold the other barrel to a friend who finished his gun and shot it this week. His response after the first shot "I have never seen a 25 yard target (8 1/2" X 11") with so many shot in it". To say he was pleased was an understatement.

If you have it jug choked an take your time an find what your barrel wants to shoot as far as powder, wadding, shot size, an lubes which takes lots of trial an error then you will have a gun that will give you turkey killing patterns out to 35 yrds or so with shot and 50/60 yrds with a patched ball. Both of mine do very well with either at those ranges. Below is a 12 ga jug choked full by Danny Caywood that I shoot with #4s
