Ditto on that Homie
Actually they are very nice looking aren't they Al
Now comes the tense part

The very pronounced stamp on the left hand barrel was causing a bit of a peen. I lightly chamfered it with the chamfer in hand and it now measures .175 plus gauge at the stamp end and .174minus gauge at the muzzle. So the choke (Taper) is about 0.0014.

"tense"? There's so much meat on those barrels you could likely -ef things up a couple times before it becomes a concern!
And an AAA+++ for Al- knows what he wants, everything done smoothly/timely- never an issue!
I'd say I care- but I'd probably be lying...
Judging by feel, it seemed to me like the choked portion was a couple inches long, IIRC....

Yes that would be a good one.
I checked very quickly and it looked like the end with the barrel stamps was the muzzle.
The other would be making sure the chambering ream is spot on before that last pass. A mistake there would be a total bummer.

Great to hear the blanks have arrived and shipping places me that much closer to one of my own. Soon as the machining can be done. Hats off to those out there willing to take on this work for those of us not able. Question about the barrel OD, will I be able to use a standard QB78d barrel band with one of these new barrels.

Possibly- haven't defined the exact machining process to be done just yet- but the barrels are quite thick- I would need to measure, but I'm betting 16mm (maybe 15) would would mean either filing out a stock barrel band or having a bit shaved off the barrels. Will update on machining when this is all plotted out...
