In a recent post seeking advice about opening chokes with a reamer from Brownells I warned the poster about what can go wrong when the reamer gets cock-eyed as it's slid down the bore. Most of the posts folllowing mine were basically that I was "full of it". Choke opening is a simple job when everything goes right. Yeah, well sometimes everything doesn't go right. If the gouges weren't there before the barrel work was started but are there when the barrel work ended the explanation is obvious. Unless of course it's a mystery, like some religous dogmas. If the gouges were there to begin with the gunsmith should have informed you before work commenced. This is just common sense, not rocket science. Enough to make you tear your hair out.
