  • Patent number: 4071971
    Abstract: A device for controlling the scatter of shot wherein the barrel of the shotgun adjacent the muzzle is provided with grooves disposed at a small angle to the longitudinal axis of the barrel. The grooved portion of the muzzle is constricted to provide a converging then diverging wall portion. The roots of the grooves define a cylinder having a diameter comparable to the diameter of the barrel. The width of the grooves is greater than the size of the shot and discharge of the shot through the barrel past the grooves produces a twisting movement which provides an uniform distribution of the shot.
