I have seen a Holland & Holland in India that had the Paradox chokes - just the front 2 or so inches of the barrel had rifling.

I have also seen a Hollis in India that had full length rifling. I have been really intrigued by these guns. There seems to be more art & craft rather than science with these guns! Ross Seyfried had some interesting articles on how they were so well regulated to shoot accurately with black powder loads & balls that were cast for the particular barrels - the mould came with the gun! Must be a very expensive proposition today.

My dad shot two tigers with an Astra 12 bore- AYA's poor brother from the same castle. The hammer gun was bought new in 1951 & he used Eley Lethal Ball ammo. I remeber handling this ammo as a kid in the 60's - the "ball" looked like a dick head! Four segments of lead were soldered together & the solder seam was very pronounced. I am getting the photos of the tiger digitally restored & will post tham shortly.

--------------------
Always shoot through the target & not just at it.
