Rifled choke tubes
« on: January 27, 2011, 03:17:51 AM »
A while back I read an article in Backwoodsman Magazine about the British making the old BP guns in LARGE calibers, smoothbore with the last few inches rifled.  It was supposed to stabilize ball amo while not disrupting shot.  Brownell's has a rifled choke tube for 20 gage which would work, and I am thinking of trying it.  Oh, that means I have to get a H&R shotgun with interchangeable tubes....

Has anyone tried this?  If so, with what results?  The rifled choke tube I mean, not getting another h&R shotgun!    ::)

I expect you are thinking of the 'Parradox' (sp?) by H&H; supposedly the 'solution' for an all rounder, shot and ball gun. Trials I have read indicated it worked, though I believe there may have been a fair amount of 'fluff' in the copy as the review was not entirely unbiased.
Go to the 'Slug Gun Forum' further down, there is quite a bit about the effectiveness, or not, of rifled choke tubes.

Thanks gcrank1.  I guess I should have looked there before posting!
