Teague Permanent Fit Chokes

[wymberley]

OK, Chaps, need a bit of help to possibly make a decision sooner rather than later.

I have asked the man direct but I've just twigged that it's the Midland this weekend and he probably won't want to be fussed with any stupid queries from me. Does anyone know if they do chokes, however they are installed, that are designed as a permanent installation?

Any info greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Phil

Besides honing your existing fixed chokes out (making them more open) i wouldn't of thought so.

 

They do friction fit multi chokes, so they don't have any notches in them they use a friction key to remove/fit them. These look invisible and are probably the best solution if you want understated with multichokes.

Why would you want such a thing?

[dunganick]

Maybe he purchased a gun with very little choke and wants to add some, but doesn't really want a multichoke gun?

Wymberly ,

 

Teague provide a service where they will bore out fixed choke guns to accept custom made choke tubes . I handled a 1970's handmade browning that had had this service a few weeks ago and was impressed - it would appear that the tubes are custom made to suit each gun .

 

Do you have some special reason why you need the chokes fitted permanently? aesthetically the flush fit teagues are hardly noticable, being flush fit without notches!

as Canis says i have also handled a Teagued fixed choke to multi conversion and was quality, they are custom made to fit your gun and cost about £300 for twin barrel guns..

Thanks for that. To answer your question, I have no need for multi chokes, never have. I have a sneaking suspicion that they may well do it. Afterall, they resleeve chambers and that's a permanent fit.

However, the flush fit ones would do provided no damage would occur if they were permanently left in.

Guys, I'm pretty sure that in view of no answer to the e-mail and 'phone, they're on their way to the Park and I could really do with the info. If anyone reading this thread is going to the Midland, could you do me a really big favour and should you trip over them, ask the question for me? Although I don't think it makes any difference, the gun is SbyS and I'm aware that a definitive answer depends on the barrel wall thickness so a provisional response will suffice.

Finally, rest assured that if you were me, you'd also keep shstumm but I'll say more once I've made my mind up.

Cheers,

Phil, we need more information on what type of gun you are talking about,fixed or multichoke, and your reasons for doing what you suggest.

Hi,

Nick has nearly got me sussed; the make is academic, it's a fixed choke side by side into which I want to add some/more choke. I'm not into multi chokes and the thought of having to clean them after use is anathema to me. As said, I do have a sneaking suspicion that what I'm after is possible.

Cheers

Phil *edit - meant Vic*, Teague can add chokes to nearly any gun (previously multichoke or not), i have seen a s/s with stunningly thin multichokes. They really are craftsmen.

 

Why not simply fit the multi chokes and leave them. I leave my chokes in the gun on the (very) odd occasion i clean them. If they pit to a dangerous level i will buy some new ones (about 7 years down and they are still going strong). Or are you concerned that the chrome bore on the gun will be compromised by the work?

[beretta]

if you get them screwed for any kind of after market choke at some stage you are going to have to take them out to clean them.

if you never want to take them out for a clean i think you are looking at new barrels.

Not concerned about the exterior surface pitting but as these are never coming out, any inter-crystalline corrosion between the choke and barrel materials and it's goodbye barrel. Not being facetious after all your kind help, but for me, chrome barrels! - whatever will they think of next!?

Thanks, mate.

Hi, sorry,didn't spot your post.

From my last post, you'll see that I agree. New barrels are a no no so if Nigel poo poos the possibility then I keep my money in my wallet.

OK so screw your chosen chokes in using Loctite,they will never come out again. There will,however,still be the the problem that causes chokes to jam in the barrel,that of corrosion caused by the products of firing the cartridge getting between the choke and the barrel.

This will eventually weaken the muzzle end and if left long enough,the expanding gas may get between the choke and barrel and damage the gun,perhaps in a dangerous manner.

Is it really worth it when all you have to do is fit the chokes with a bit grease around the threads and take them out and clean them now and again?

 

Vic.

[wymberley]

Yes, they do.

Been and gone and done it as far as I can. Have put in an offer which is reasonable and sensibly reflects the fact that the barrels will have to go up to Nigel to ensure there is "sufficient meat" for the job and the that offer is subject to that decision being positive. If it's "yes" in both cases, the work will be done without further ado. Unless I fall at the first hurdle (offer), as this is somewhat unusual, I'll update when relevant.

Cheers
