Trouble maker !!  Joe, the mayor and I missed you today at Camp Don Enjoy yourself ! I do have a 12 gauge forcing cone reamer and it is very effective in tapering the cone. Mike

Tough to judge without the barrels in hand, but many older guns intended for roll crimps and fibre wads have very abrupt forcing cones. I'll take a look at a couple of Ideals on hand.

Both my 12 & 16 Ideal barrels look like yours do.

Rockie, for me it wasn't so much the abruptness of the forcing cones as their roughness or lack of polishing. Perhaps they didn't know the affect on patterns, or that it added too much to manufacturing costs.
Again, would be interesting to look at some top drawer guns to compare.

Bill:
I have a Fordom, actually several, and I'd like to polish the forcing cones on several guns. Would you mind explaining in some detail just how you do this?
Thank you in advance,
Mark

There might be a reason that they left a little roughness in the throat ? I need to do a little research on that.
