Back-Boring Shotgun Barrels
The modern-day shotgunner is now waking up to the benefits of back-boring in certain sporting applications. This may be just the common cycle of the trend, or perhaps this feature has finally found a permanent place in our list of optional features for the shotgun bore. Both Remington and Browning now offer this feature in their target guns.

Adjusting Fixed Chokes In Single-Barrel Guns
The fixed, or "built-in," choke is found in many of today's shotgun barrels, and it is found in almost all shotgun barrels over ten years of age.
