" Turning and honing out the rifling and leaving 3-6" of rifling would be a giant waste of time but if done right with a bit of run in for the shot/slug shouldn't be too hard and should shoot just as well as a "real" Paradox gun. Getting the smooth bore section the correct ID is no problem...just deep hole drilling so to speak. I couldn't do it with my loosey-goosey lathe...bed isn't long enough besides."
When I was hunting in Japan (where they have some unusually/strange rules/laws on firearms & life in general)
The easiest firearm license to get & keep is a smooth bore Shot Gun, they have made amendments to that & you can have a small part of the barrel rifled, so fully rifled barrels need to have a large part to most of the rifling removed !
So when I asked about this I presumed that it would be like a Paradox type & leave rifling at the end of the barrel, the guys said "no that does not work well" ??? & it is removed from the muzzle end ???
Any way this way worked very well, shot 2 1/2in to 4in groups at a 100yd with Barnes Expanders (no lead allowed now days) & killed deer to 200yds + it could be used on Ducks, doesn't make sense, but it worked !
