They seem to have missed the rather important fact blanks are made without grooves, then machined to fit the particular model, the choke is at the end of the barrel, so are the grooves, so they seem to correlate this as being as a result of the groove crimping, yet the choke position is the same whether the barrel is grooved or not, so ask yourself a simple question , why would HW make choked barrels (sold as such WITHOUT grooves
http://silco.co.uk/products/-BARREL-...CH-CHOKED.html ) if just crimping the end of the barrel creates a choke effect?
