My dad ringed the barrel of his 1955 Browning A5 by shooting steel. The ring will show up at the area where the choke starts. A cylinder choke MAY be OK. Can you shoot lead where you live?
If he’s Duck Hunting with it, he better live in a 3rd world country somewhere. As I believe all of North America does not allow hunting or possession of Lead “Toxic” Shot while duck hunting. And I’ve been told a lot of other countries have this same ban, including places like Australia.
Where I’ve always found this interesting is in regards to Dove Hunting. Only recently in my home state of Louisiana have certain parishes (way down south in the delta marshes) has restricted the use of lead shot while dove hunting. Which when you think about how many bodies of water are in Louisiana it is interesting. So I can shoot at Dove all day long on the river, on a pond or any other body of water, but not ducks. Does that make much sense? Don’t get me wrong I prefer my lead shot all day long over steel any day. But it does make one think, hmm.
Sincerely,
Maverick
