thanks Dale, i wouldnt say the choke tube is damaged....just has a few gouges in it...just barely visible and can just make them out by touching the inside of the tube with my pinky. i may give that emory cloth a try. shortly after learning of my mistake by RJF at Buckwheats hunt up in Renovo....i went and bought an identicle choke tube but for steel shot....that stuff patterns beautifuly!
although i will say this RedDog....try to squeeze the trigger outside of 20yds if possible....inside that it tends to make for some unneccessary sewing of the pelt....lol. as i said before....live and learn. :lol: :wink:
