When I choke a barrel......
« Reply #1 on: August 18, 2008, 03:16:50 PM »
....I usually wrap my gorilla gripper around it and squeeze till the lead oozes out.  If it's a large barrel I use two hands.

Tool steel swaging rollers mountedto a lathe tool stand. Hammer forge. Plating.
Probably several others, but it's been quitea long, tiring day . . . without potable running water. Again.

Hi Craigfperry I answered a post a while back and posted some picturies of a tool I use for chokeing a barrel it is a hand press used for nicro press swage fittings used in sailboats as well as other cables look up the post in the search section  above( ( Posted 7/7/2008 6:57 AM (#68022 - in reply to #67940)
Subject: Re: Barrel Choking TOOL )) you can  make up your oun mind if it is a possible way to make a choke on a rifle barrel it does squeeze the steel down you can mike the difference on the outside of the barrel and I use a tork wrench to control the amt. of pressure . howie

Tool? where to get
« Reply #7 on: August 19, 2008, 07:38:21 AM »
Tool you say? LOL perks my ears right up. Where does one obtain this tool? Do we know the common name for the tool? I believe I might want to add that to my collection if its not too expensive.

I belive mine is the # 3 tool in your catalog and $21.00 is a steel in a marine supplys store they are much higher mine takes the 5/8 inch wrench for tighting  too if you had the tool you could allways make it for a bigger size dia. buy turning it over and makeing the same type opening  as the tool has I needed a odd size for mine once so I did that . howie1a  PS I do have to do the press in 2 steaps since it squeezes the yop and biottom I end up looseing it and turning it 90 deg. then re pressing the barrel so I can get a full circle that is one of the reasons I use a tork wrench also I have been useing 400 inch lbs as my tork setting. howie

Next week my new choke blocks will be here. NO ONE has a set like this for Diana Brls. NO BS. I have  the BEST money can buy.  They will be shipped to me tommorow. Perfection takes time. I have ignored this & the other thread pertaining to "Choking" brls.  Of course it only takes a 20 ton press to get 2 thousanths  (All Ya need) for 177 "Thick" Diana brl. Tim.

Thanks for the kind words Dave. Oh, you can bet on pics. from me next week!! Been working on this "Choking" thing for Several months now.  This ends all of the contraversy,, period.   Not so much my research,, I have had help from others on this matter. You just cant go any higher than I went on this one Bud. Trust me. NO ONE else will have a set of Diana Blocks like these,, cost more than any Diana gun!!LOL!! One of a kind. Tim.
