[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4018518, member: 15054"] Now nothing mentioned about reducing the rifling in the bore to microscopic levels. You could smooth it up but still have the look of rifling. Still rifled and not completely smooth. Then there is the leaded up barrel that looks like a smooth bore and acts like one if you shot lead bird shot through it. Not hard to make the barrel lead fouled. My dad never cleaned his guns and I got his 357 after his death that was a leaded smooth bore. I would also think a very short barrel would work well for bird shot, I would think not much spin in a 2.5" long barrel. [/QUOTE]
