FYI, John Getz informed me that this barrel has "tapered rifling."  The depth starting at the breech is .017" I wonder if tapering the rifling depth might act similar to a choke?

Way above my pay grade to know that sort of stuff.

Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?

Just checked and there is only .003 difference in the taper so probably not any significant choke effect.
