I have a Remington FE that I wanted to use for trap doubles shooting. The left barrel was right on the money, the right barrel I couldn't hit with at all.
When I patterned on a steel board I found that it was 1/2 the pattern to the right. After some judicious examinations we found that sometime earlier in the guns history someone had really botched some choke modifications causing a mis-shaped choke. This pissed me off pretty good, and I started figuring options (beside hard liquor)!
One of the double gun guys here (Ghostrider) suggested that I send the gun to Skeet's and let Dean check it out. He tuned, re-choked and moved the impact point to the center. He was able to maintain enough choke for a great first shot for my style of doubles.
But then the stock broke, my FE is back in rehab getting a duplicated straight grip monte carlo. I hope to shoot the FE at the Pennsylvania State Shoot in June, in competition and Nostalgia shoots.
