  1. Comparing Browning factory Invector Plus chokes with Teagues actual measurements - factory chokes are more open: 1/4 - Browning: 0.004, Teague: 0.010; 1/2 - Browning: 0.012, Teague: 0.020 3/4 - Browning: 0.018, Teague: 0.030 1/1 - Browning: 0.031, Teague: 0.040 If you have Teague tapered choke key you can compare the actual restrictions yourself. In praxis - with 1/2 (0.20) you are already well in the tight territory i.e. you don't get much by using 3/4 or 1/1...IMO
  2. Intersting - account was suspended - looks like things were noted... Btw - I was contaced by a gentleman that was scammed by them for 10K € a month ago...
  3. Thank you gentlemen - I will continue to follow this topic with great interest and hope to pay you back with any info from my parts if needed. Hello Walker - I believe you were here : http://www.prmaticku.si/index.php?option=com_content&view=frontpage&Itemid=54&lang=en I know the owner personally and I have no doubts you had great time.
  4. Hello all. I am looking for info about Shooting Services Limited by Anthony Jonathan Laws: http://www.shooting-services-limited.co.uk/index.html Looking at their Sale offer I find some reasonable prised items offered: http://www.shooting-services-limited.co.uk/q-line-clays.html Anyone dealt with them? Thank you.

  6. Schmokinn over at Shootclay is selling them: http://www.shootclayforum.com/index.php?/topic/20627-fsteague-inv-extended-chokes/
  7. I had an Ultra Trap - that is beside the lettering the same gun. As others said - check if it is a Sporter (multichokes and sporter forend) or Trap (fixed 3/4 and 1/1 with trap forend). Then see the action blueing - I've seen discoloration on some, but the gun is made to last so it doesn't affect its shooting value. And I'd second Gordon's oppinion on handling - there are moments when I dearly regret selling it.
  8. I am not sure about the barrels - 70 has overbored barrels as well, true on height of the comb + 38 has adjustable trigger
  9. Godon I believe this is the upper one. I had the same issue with mine - see pic. I have taken it (both actually) out and polished it - works like a charm since.
  10. At 40m with Miroku MK70 and factory flush chokes, 36g Hull High Pheasant Xtreme #4 plaswad - 1/2 choke (107 pellets inside 30"), - 1/1 choke (123 pellets inside 30"). As of numbers - Hull PHX pellet size is bigger than usual (#4=3.25mm).
  11. Here is how I see it. There are close (20 yds-) to far (40 yds+) targets. Using sensible choke (1/4 - 1/2) most modern cartridges will pattern just fine between 25-35 yds. It is at -20yds (some) and at +40yds (more) differences appear. At the end one finds a general cartridge/choke combination that covers either close/mid or mid/far targests and will try to fill the missing void of close or far cartridge. So looking fo "close" carridge I pattern it at 20yds while looking for "far" cartridge I pattern it at 40 yds.
  12. You are good to go - if still in doubt see: http://www.teaguechokes.com/news/is-it-safe-to-shoot-with-one-flush-choke-in-one-barrel-and-an-extended-choke-in-the-other/
  13. Best way is to have your barrels reblued but as a temporary fix - cold blueing could do - if done properly makes up quite nice - it wears off eventually so it must be renewed after time http://www.ballistol.de/80-1-Klever-Quickbrowning.html or https://www.birchwoodcasey.com/Refinishing/Metal-Finishing/Perma-Blue%C2%AE-Liquid-Paste-Gun-Blue.aspx
  14. OK to continue shooting a trap gun for anything (even game) This - don't worry about chokes - there are some fine cartridges out there that will make up for broader patterns
  15. I have shot 2 steel loads through 2 guns over 2 seasons at trap targets. Loads being RC2 24g and Clever Mirage Steel 28g both in #7 (EU - 2.5mm). Guns were Browning Trap Ultra with fixed 3/4 and 1/1 chokes and Miroku Mk70 with factory 1/2 and 3/4 flush chokes. 1. Patterns - I haven't noticed any difference (I patten all my cartridges at 20 and 40m) 2. Breaking of clays were the same, there were quite some clays picked after the shoot that had visible hits (grazed) but didnt brake - I don't know - I havent noticed any differnce - I have shot some of my best scores with steel there... 3. I can't say 4. We shoot steel to be eco friendly on one ground, however looking at all the plastic wads remaining on the ground I wonder if it is indeed so? 5. See No 2 Other guns that were regulary shot with RC2 24g steel were Beretta 686, Browning B25, Lanber, Perazzi with fixed chokes and Beretta 692 with factory 1/2 and 3/4 chokes and others I don't recall - there is nothing wrong with any as far as I know.
  16. Had it for 8 years - no issues whatsoever - here is loaded with dog, Chamois and stuff...
  17. Building up Mental Stamina - google it up and you will find interesting things like: http://www.webmd.com/fitness-exercise/mental-stamina http://www.wikihow.com/Increase-Mental-Stamina
  18. They will be fine - just for a reference - last year my house was flooded and my cartridges were submerged under 2 feet of water for 5 hours. I tried a couple after 2 days - all went bang just left a lot of residue in the barrels. All were plastic - some with regular plastic wads, some with piston wads and some with steel shot. First I have put them on the table and left them on room temperature for a week, then I stacked them in carbon boxes and left them in the heating room over the winter. Shot with them over this year - no missfire, performed flawlessly, clean burning and all...
  19. According to Teague you are good to go up to (include) 1/2 choke.
  20. Lefty myself I bought my first gun - Browning Trap Ultra - with ajustable stock that I thought was mandatory. After shooting and twisting and turning the stock in all possible ways for 2 years I ended up shooting it back in neutral (zero) position. While I was solding my gun (was looking for sporter) I had to borrow a couple of other guns and found out that any Browning fitts me nice - tried 30 year old B25 on Trap course and shoot straight 20/20 immediately, then it was Browning GTI sporter on a local Compak shoot - scored 22/25 - both guns I have never shot before. Recently I bought Miroku MK70 sporter and couldn't be happier. All those guns mentioned have different stocks that are all neutral and guns themselves (to me that is) handle somehow familiar - so as guys before me mentioned - flip a coin - you can't miss either way.
