My understanding of "chopper lump" means that each barrel is integral with it's "lump" - that is that the barreels are not sleeved. The photos look to me that the the barrels might be sleeved in front of the lumps. Pleae clarify...?

Good hunting,

All one piece, no sleeving. What you can see is the machining marks left after shaping the profile of the barrels.

The sleeving you refer to is used in monoblock construction.

Emory,
They are true chopper barrels and no I didn't make them myself. This is the state I get them in from my supplier.
