Jug Choking

[smoothshooter]

Can anyone tell me anything about the tooling required to do jug choking, such as:

Where to buy it or them?

Is there a specialized single tool for each gauge, or does one use a series of progressively sized standard - type back boring tools?

Are directions available?

How long is the choked area?

How far back from the muzzle?

How much material is removed?

I just looked thru my Brownell's catalog and found nothing advertised as a jug choking tool.

Give Danny Caywood a call. He may be willing to talk to you about it. I had him jug choke a 20 gauge fowler for me that patterns well. http://www.caywoodguns.com/

I know Danny Caywood and live an hour or so North of his shop. But he only chokes 12 and 20 gauge barrels.

I made my own mandrel years ago and it worked. The cutter was a small file ground to shape and stoned.



A feller on here coyote Joe use to use wooden mandrel I think.

I did one of my smooth bores with a brake cylinder hone it took two sets of stones but it improved my patterns. :idunno:
