Swaged choke: A constriction or choke in a shotgun barrel formed by a swaging process that compresses the outside of the barrel. Swaged rifling: Rifling in a firearm barrel formed by a swaging process, such as button rifling.
The presence of nitrite ions is what triggers the colour change, and therefore we do not consider this test to be indicative of GSR. [ 4 ] The sodium rhodizonate test can detect the presence of lead and barium; it results in a red or purple color when lead is present in the tested area, [ 7 ] and a reddish-brown colour when exposed to barium.
