I've always been interested in how V M Starr jug choked his old original M/l shotguns to get denser patterns. Having read his book(let) that is reprinted by Cornell Publications again recently and having my appetite whetted by his mention of choking an 11 gauge double m/l to throw 80% patterns with lead shot I went on the search for more information written by Starr about this. I found an old post on another forum that said there is 3-4 pages of info about his jug choking in the book Gunsmith Kinks I. Thinking I had that book already I went to the bookshelves but found I had only Gunsmith Kinks II. Found a good used copy on Amazon and got it headed thisaway.

Looks like another wintertime project for me in the gunshop. 80% patterns with a front stuffer and black powder would be way cool.


May God bless America and those who defend her.
