What is an Overbored barrel?

A back-bored barrel is a shotgun barrel that has a bore diameter increased beyond maximum specifications. Increasing the bore diameter of a shotgun barrel greatly enhances its performance. A larger bore diameter reduces friction of the shot charge against the barrel wall.

What is back boring a shotgun barrel?

Back Boring in layman’s terms Put simply, back boring takes a standard shotgun barrel and increases the volume. This is done by removing some of the material from within the barrel to create more space. Most of this space is created around the bore of the barrel to taper the amount of internal friction.

What are forcing cones?

The forcing cone is the transition area from chamber dimension to the bore of your shotgun. The area in a shotgun barrel just in front of the chamber that directs the shot load into the bore is called the forcing cone. In most production shotguns this forcing cone is very short and at a very steep angle.

Does lengthening the forcing cone help?

Lengthening the forcing cone by 2 or 3 inches with a chamber reamer, followed by polishing, creates a longer, more gradual taper for the shot charge to transition into the smaller main bore. The hoped-for result is less pellet deformation, fewer flyers, and more uniform patterns downrange.

What is the forcing cone on a revolver?

The forcing cone is the rear entrance of the barrel where the bullet transitions from the cylinder to the barrel. It protrudes into the cylinder window a little, how much varies depending on the model. Cracked forcing cones are not unique to Smith & Wesson revolvers.
