Choke-Bored Rifles
      #156846 - 18/03/10 01:08 PM

I have just joined this forum. I have been reading the free books and posts for over a year. Thanks for all of the good reading and the good info.

Could someone please explain to me what W.W. Greener was talking about when he talks about his choke-bored rifle. He claims that it was better than the Parodox at shooting shot. I have tried to make a Parodox style gun for years using rifled choke tubes and various slugs. I have had some success but never the 6 in group at 100 yards. Thanks

Perhaps the difference is the length of the rifled section. I have read that the paradox in some makes was up to 4" long. I do not know that for fact, but a shorter rifled section, as in a choke - perhaps 2" long might give better patterns, but possibly poorer accuracy.

Last DGJournal had an article by Ross S. in which he finally tested slugs in his 12 bore Lanscaster oval bore(& shot an elk with it). He reported a final group of 2 shots each barrel going into 2" at 100 yards - which is amazing accuracy for open sights - but then, he shoots open sights a lot & the practise sure helps.

Thanks Daryl ,
I read something somewhere that it may have been jugchoked, which would be easy to do.
