Mike --

Thanks for the additional information. I very much appreciate your help. I knew of Stan Baker -- but, not the others.

I will see where all this information leads.

As a point of discussion, Without the rejoining of the barrels, I cannot see how the barrel performance can be usefully altered, except by choke modification. So, this may narrow the field in light of your descriptions of the competencies.

I agree, Briley does seem to have grown enormously, since I first dealt with them. On the other hand I have never experienced a single problem in any of my interactions. I have carefully measured the Briley choke dimensions and surface finishes. I have been very much impressesed with their machining capabilities and quality control. Briley is prepared to pattern the gun ($125) to define the requirements for the choke alterations .... or I can supply representative patterns / information.

Thanks again.

Best Regards,

Don
