I thought MaxWax was Dodger11? I'm confused. 😕
BaxWax's two posts which were edited out, originally contained the text which was posted by Weadley only minutes later.
Wormley not only enjoys "mixing the pot a little" but also talking to himself.
Originally posted by WeadleyIs the choke in good shape? He wasn't firing slugs through a full choke or anything retarded like that, right?
Its a Browning Citori that is probably 5 or more years old.
Im not sure of the exact model. It has been taken well care of (my brother is a stickler for keeping in good condition), it has a few dings in the wood from regular outdoor use.
The cheapest new Citori I could find was the Lightning model for
$1,699.00 . So $850 sounds like a good deal possibl ...[text shortened]...
PS im glad there is at least one Non Pansy Panty Wearing good ole boy here on this chess site!
Originally posted by AThousandYoungEsentially, yes. (This is a simplified explaination)-Some modern shotguns have a seperate screw in end piece which allows you to change the choke on one barrel. The inserted choke is a machined ring which screws into the inside of the muzzle end of the barrel. It is machined to be flush with the inside diameter of the barrel. All older models, and most newer ones do not have such a feature. The barrel itself is fabricated to one specific choke, so to change the choke of a shotgun one must put a different barrel on which is manufactured to the desired choke.
The choke is what controls how wide and what shape the spray of shot is, right?
Basicly, there are 3 different choke types: open, modified, and full. A barrel which is "full choke" actually narrows down at the muzzle end to slightly smaller inside diameter than the diameter of the barrel near the breach end. An "open choke" barrel remains the same diameter from breach to muzzel. The different varieties of choke either:hold the shot in a tighter group(pattern) for a greater distance, thus making longer shots more accurate, or alternately allow the shot to disperse in a wider pattern more quickly thus increasing the kill radius for faster/smaller game. Modified is in the middle and offers some benefits of both.
If one were to shoot a shotgun slug, which is a solid chunk of lead(think of an Elmer Fudd bullet)through a full choke it could cause much damage to the barrel. The shotgun shells people use for game birds and rabbits are "shot" shells. They do not fire a compact bulletlike projectile. Shot shells have a plastic cylindrical casing called a "wadding", which holds many bb's. The wadding is flexible and can scrunch up somewhat when passing through the choked barrel. (The wadding opens up along perferated lines shortly after leaving the barrel while the many bb's continue on their way towards the target.)
Originally posted by WeadleyI think you could knock down the price a hundred bucks if you can. It's a fine shotgun. Then again Browning is renowned for fine weapons. I have a Browning Hi-Power 9mm thats 40 years old and it still fires nice. I would take it to a reputable gunsmith to check it out first.
