Long tom

A while back I bought a old Winchester "Knuckle buster "1897. I think its a 1906 year production.

I used it for shooting crows but it needed chokes. It was 32" barrel full choked.

But I wanted a better pattern and longer reach too. So I got some more choke tooling and proceeded to install choke tubes in it.

I put the True choke style chokes it and the lengthened the forcing cone.

Wow what a difference that all made.

Less kick and the patterns were better with the more open chokes.

But I have always been interested in those Metro barrel extensions and figured why not made my own.

Well I had a 14" piece of a shotgun barrel that I cut down for a friend of mine and thought that would make a good candidate.

It already had Remington choke tubes in it so all I had to do was make my own true choke threading.

Which is .795x44 double lead thread! Which is two thread starts 180 degrees apart or two threads of 22tpi.

So the finished product gave me 12.5" longer barrel.

And boy does it reach out there now. Been turkey hunting with it to test it out but no luck so far.

Crows it works great on even if they are up there farther than what I would normally take a poke at them.
