jug choke
« on: August 08, 2009, 04:22:45 AM »
Hello to all--has anyone here jug choked a .410?  I think mine would be a lot "handi"er with a 18" barrel. How did you do it, with what results? I just don't want to spend the money to get screw in chokes. Thanks--woodsrunner

hone out a section a couple inches back from the muzzle . the approach and leaving sections will need to be ramped to faclitate the flow thru. the bbl.
you might do it with emery cloth and a wooden dowel in a drill if careful . hone a little and try it as it is a game of thousants not a deep cut .
If ya can see it ya can hit it !

I think the correct procedure involed pouring a lead plug with  valve grinding paste or similar embedded in the plug.is a game of trial and trial...grind very little try for results a lot..Knowing when to quit would play a big part also..IMO  ;)

There are hones made to do this if you want the expence . A dowel with the cloth wrapped around is an inexpensive way . The lead would be better for lapping a bore IMHO .
