I sent a gun to Stan Baker, the US Olympic Skeet teams gunsmith in Cali in the late 60s/70s. He chronoed an 870 bbl by the inch and told me to make it 25" because the velocity loss from 30 to 25 was slow and gradual but below 25 it dropped off fast. So he cut my bbl to 25 and installed one of his custom chokes in it...building the first modern turkey gun in the US, or world as far as I know. His choke system was later bought by Winchester and became WinChokes, the first commercial screw in choke.


I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....
