Lot more extended than the original winchoke in the top barrel

Just arrived from Mandel. They look superb. 

Ordered my chokes from Mandel today and my Isis Green recoil pad arrived back to me as well. Looking forward to testing them all out hopefully next week. Just need a good cleaning kit now for barrels and some gun oil.

That's good to hear. Their customer service is superb. Teague, Teal and some others taking days and weeks to reply. So extended Mandel's it is. To port or not to port, that is the question? They do look nice ported though

Has anyone ever dealt with a company called Mandel chokes? Their response time is superb but does anyone know of their chokes are any good? Also is their any benefit to ported chokes? http://www.shotgunchokes.co.uk/index.php

Guys, can anyone confirm if the Browning Invector extended chokes will fit the 101 XTR? Sportsman gun centre said they do but I wanna make sure before I order

Thanks for the tips and replies gents. Was due to go shooting last weekend and this week but I now have covid so I'm going nowhere. Will get the stock sanded and polished off while I'm at home

I'm gonna do that tomorrow. Will open up the safe and try to take butt plate off, hopefully the screws play nice!

?

I'm now doubting myself loool. I will try and take the plate off and have a proper look.

Yes curved like this one and screw at top is pretty high up

Thanks for that

They look great. How did you put the green pad on as the butt is curved which, when I spoke to Dave at Isis, he said it would need to be straightened to fit the green pad which again, is something I can't do!

Thanks for replies gents. I prefer this Winchester to my dad's Lincoln pair and those are superb but just something about this gun I love. I wasn't aware I could shoot the steel shots as it isn't stamped for that. I know I defo can't shoot high velocity shots with it.

So spoke to Davehe said the butt would need to be flattened off but I have no gunsmiths apart from Wiseman and they quoted me £200 today!!! It's due to the curve of the plate so aside from taking the stock off and sending it to Dave I'm a bit stuck as I don't have belt sander etc. My little Dremel would do the job or I'd end up with 2 barrels on a toothpick!

So spoke to Isis about the green pads. They said they are concerned that the curve on my original butt plate might be difficult and would need to be flattened off by gunsmith. Also the screws in my butt plate are not the same (see 2nd pic for location) as the Isis so would need new holes drilled in. Not sure if I can do it myself.

Hi all. So I've had my first shotgun and it's a Winchester 101 XTR diamond grade sporter. Butt plate is a bit rough and some scratches around and on stock but perfect action and fires great. Ordered a Napier gunstock finishing kit to try and tidy it up. Barrels are super clean but some rust around where gun closes. Any advice on sorting that? I'm looking for some chokes as the ones it came with have seen better days and the 1/4 has a crack which I saw before I used it. I was looking at Teal chokes but was told to go Teague. Are they worth the money? Also I want the extended, not flush fitting. Some say invectors fit and some say they don't so any advice is appreciated

Thanks Shotkam. I will do that tonight.

Hello folks. Just been given my first shotgun by my dad and it's a Winchester 101 XTR diamond grade sporter. Butt pad is **** so was looking at replacements and to take some of the recoil away. Saw the Isis green pad but the green won't look right on the 101. I can't do any of the grind to fit stuff as have no tools, nearest gunsmith charged my dad £150 for some new screws in the stock and a jammed ejector pad on his Baikal this week so can imagine how much they would want for butt pad replacement!
