Thread: BUGGER…… very lucky!!!

All is not lost. Any good gunsmith could trim and thread the barrel for an external choke tube. It is a very common occurrence, especially with inexperienced shooters and, luckily, injuries from such events are rare. Injuries are more frequent (and serious) when badly blocked barrels burst closer to the breech, usually damaging the forward hand.
