Modifying a shotgun Muzzle to accept Screw in Chokes

Hi,

Can a 12 bore shotgun barrel (that doesnt have any threading etc at the muzzle) be threaded at the muzzle end to accept the newer type of screw in chokes. :hmm:

Thanks

/s/

 

Yes it can. My Miroku 20 bore has fixed chokes - under = 1/4: over = 3/4. The over barrel is a v close pattern and so while I'm away for the next three weeks my gun is going to Nigel Teague to convert the over barrel into a multichoke for better options. Easy for me as the workshop is only about 20 mins or so from Bristol where I live

What sort of cost is associated with making it a multi choke?

Apologies for the delay - been away

 

I popped up to see Nigel Teague - about 20 mins up the M5 for a Bristol boy - to discuss the requirement and actually changed my mind.

 

Ex VAT, one barrel is £180, whereas two barrels is £226 i.e 0nly £46 for the second barrel. The issue is that having engineered the gun it has to go to the proof house and this carries the same cost penalty be it one barrel or two. So, for an extra £46 I decided to go for both barrels. For your money you get 4 chokes 2 x quarter; one half and one three quarters. This gives the flexibility if quarter / quarter; quarter / half; or half / threequarters. If you consider having it done and are too far away to pop in yourself, Nigel will arrange for collection and re-delivery at £23 each way. He also fitted an auto safety for me (peace of mind) and this was £85 inc Vat - Great guy. Excellent reputation. good website www.teagueprecisionchokesltd.co.uk

was that cheaper Boba than just selling and buying a multichoke gun?

 

A logical Q. The Answer on this one is always a curates egg - bad in parts. In my case I tried a No of guns and the balance and feel of the Miroku was the one for me personally. The difference between grade 1 & 5 is large in £'s and neither have multichoke. I decided to get the gd 1 with the fullness of knowledge that if, over time, the 3/4 choke was too tight then I would change it. I have used it for a while now and decided to multichoke. Like cars, part exchanging can be more expensive cumulatively, perhaps even more that modifying a good gun. So I plumped for a good gun and found I need to change

 

Even when I looked at Berreta silver pigeon they were fixed chokes 1/4 & 1/2. I didn't like the Yilditz or fabarm or betsinoli. Absolutely nothing wrong with them at all. They just didn't seem right fo me. We have all read posts which rightly emphasise that careful selection to get the right gun first time for fit, balance etc and that is what I did. I am quite happy with my decision and, at the end of the day, it's what suites us as individuals that counts.

 

Regards
