Who do I talk to about making rifling grooves?
I'm a fan of smooth bores but not their accuracy. Can anyone help me on this?

I'm taking a guess that you want to change a smooth bore to a rifled. There should be gunsmiths in your area. That is where I would start.

If you have a "gut" feeling that he should not do it, then don't let him.
Ask questions first, get written estimates, and have in writing what is to be done.

if its a smoothbore it will shoot better than some give it credit for, the big qquestion i like to ask does it hava rear sight. it will make a difference as you have a consistent alignment with the front sight. I shoot smoothbore 62's and my little canoe gun with a 24 inch bbl shoots more accuirately than my 42 inch bbl. the reason being it has a rear sight on it. learn to shoot that smoothbore and when people start to laught about it as i did at one time you will make believers out of them.

Whtsmoke has it right. I made a rear sight for my 870 years ago (flashing clamped between the stock and receiver with a hole to peep through) and it shot minute of deer (about 10 inch groups at 75 yards) with Brennke type slugs from a smooth, modified cylinder barrel using the front bead. That sight didn't last a season but it demonstrated clearly that a well designed slug can perform very well from a smooth bore if it can be aimed properly.

A tight patched round ball will do even better.
