In a rifle we all are taught the crown of the barrel is there last thing that touches the bullet and therefore it is extremely important for accuracy and consistency. A tiny nick or aggressive cleaning can ruin the barrel.
Then we move to shotguns and the crowns look like a mouth full of British teeth! Between the identifying notches and the wrench knotches I have up to 8 deep cuts on some shotgun crowns! The wrench knotches are even doubled (you only need 2).
Obviously shotguns are far different from rifles but nobody will argue that the crown of the choke tube is still the last thing that touches the wad/shot/slug. Seems like we have a double standard here...
