    You all know DAve Berlet and his shooting accomplishments, but here is one of his gunsmithing skills in pics
    A recent MX11 bbl I bought used but the basic bbl in original condition. Approx a 1998 34" bbl with .724 bore and original .032 choke. When I saw the perfect concentric rings I knew the bbl will be a trap target smoker. So, off to Dave for his elevated rib projecting the pattern up to approx 80/20.
