Anybody know of someone who can Jug Choke one barrel of a Navy Arms double barrel? And do it Right. Or can doubles be Jug Choked?
 
it depends on how much meat there is to the barrel wall.. its done with a brake cylinder hone if i remember right and depth gauge system.. .005 should take you to improved which would be a huge improvement.. and most barrels should be able to handle that.. finding someone to do it would be tough.. ihad a guy explain it to me three times and said it was easy and i should do it my self.. the jug needs to be slightly longer than the COMPLETE load and then taper to the cylinder bore on each end.. the taper should not be too drawn out.. i had mine turned but it is a round barrel.. any way my point is it is possible and some gunsmiths still do it.... dave
