So, by all accounts, it’s a rewrite of the first report.
I was hoping they would remove the damaged choke and check its tolerances. I appreciate entirely removal could damage it but its thickness, thread dimensions etc could all then be checked. Quoting two (and only two) measurements of the undamaged choke says nothing, as does saying how they make them – we need to know about the one that failed. As I understand it, the chokes are 70.1mm long and the bored out section 69.8mm so the choke always marries up to the end of the bored out section perfectly. The barrel steps down (they call this the safety step) to the choke and it would be helpful to know by much. I assume the video confirms the "safety step" for the failed (bottom) barrel as any gap there, caused by the threads or it been off round etc would be fatal and could quickly cause debris to build up. I’m also assuming that when they refer to “debris” they mean shooting deposits not rust or other contamination that may have 'occurred' since the barrels were posted. They should be able to tell.
Not sure what else to say that has not already been said other than have they answered your questions. If not go back and ask them to; I assume you now have the proofing cert etc.
If it was me, and you are going to get a new set of barrels get a manufacturer multi choked set, sell the chokes that don't fit and forget about Teague.
