Winchester 1200 series 12GA. SS Marine Riotgun

I decided to go turkey hunting last fall and needed more than my 18" slug barrel.

As my 1200 is no longer manufactured, I bought a 30" Full Choke barrel on eBay.

The problem is, the new barrel prints 5" low and 5" left of POA at 35 yards.

I did bag 2 turkeys using, "Kentucky Windage", but I would like it to shoot true to POA.

Anyone have any suggestions?

I would have a shotgun guru look at the barrel. I think it has a curve to it. Metal can take a set if it sits in one spot for a long time. It does not take much to make that kind of movement.

My local smith says, he I can bend it, but he is so tied up in ATF audits right now he can't do any work until after the first of the year, when all of the new regulations are finalized.

More democrap bubblegum....

I sure am tempted to forget about it and buy one of those MKA 1919's I've been looking at.
