the last engineer Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Hardy, it means Improved Cylinder, and Moderated. I have the same markings on the multichokes in my SKB, although I'm unsure of the exact equivalent to normal chokes, e.g 1/4, Half, Full. Can anyone clarify? think you'l find that's "Modified" not moderated, i shoot improoved mod's most of the time for all diciplines, i like em, pattern well and hit hard from my Ultras. Choke Design Supported by more than 20 years of research into shotgun ballistic dynamics and tight tolerance computer (CNC) machining, Comp-n-Choke choke tubes deliver more precise, denser patterns to your target. The Choke design allows gases to vent through slots, generating a brake system, which reduces recoil and gives quick recovery for the second shot. The slots also slow the wad, allowing the shot column to exit the choke clearly ahead of the wad. This eliminates flyers (when the wad drives through the shot column) delivering a more dense pattern. The more dense pattern allows you to use a more open constriction, providing a larger pattern and improving your performance. Comp-n-Choke tubes are computer (CNC) machined for precise tolerances with high quality steel. The extended portion of the tubes offer a conical parallel design, with the final constriction of the choke held roughly 1 1/8 inches. Chokes are rollmarked for quick identification. Then extend design allows easy field installation and quick changes. Chokes for most popular guns are stocked in a variety of finishes: black, stainless or gold titanium. Custom sizes are available on request.

Most shotgun makers produce barrels with a standard bore diameter. We stock choke tubes for shotguns with the standard bore diameter listed below. If you have backbored your gun, or the bore diameter is not this standard for some other reason, please contact us for custom-size choke tubes.

Too much of a constriction in a choke tube is just as bad as not enough constriction. Use a good rest. Use a large sheet of paper, at least 36 inches, to show exact pattern concentration. Shoot at least two target - each with different type loads and brand of shells. Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the last engineer Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 good for you buddy, my old friend Dave Saunders back in Bristol used to shoot a mossburg 6 shot pump whilst i ran a savage 5 shot pump, we held our own against a bunch of pot pickers back then, no pumps now as i tend to forget what to do after the bang Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the last engineer Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 hi all new to this site just thought i would add my list of guns so here goes browning cynergy cylinder & skeet teague chokes (sporting clays) browning medallist (rough gun ) remy 1100 20b (skeet & pigeon) belgian folding .410 (roost shooting & general fun gun) welcome to the forum , question for you , how do you get on with that cynergy, the reason i ask is many of the shooters i know have all sorts of problems getting the comb down, not only in Canada, i have heard a few from the UK also, i have shot it, not to the extreme but a couple of 100 birds or so, i did find it high but a nice gun none the less, too pricey though in my opinion.

Whitebridges Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Browning 525 Advance and Beretta Teknys sporter. Use the browning mostly as it doesn't help my shooting frequently changing guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squodged Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 I shoot a Beretta 682 12g Gold 29 1/2 barrel with an adjustable comb. Teague Ported Chokes 1/4 1/4 Briley Extended 1/2 3/4. For sporting clays. I've no idea what year it is. (If someone could advise me I'd be most appreciative). I've fed it everything from Diana 7.5s, D&G 7.5s & 9s, Gambore White Gold XLR 8s and Eley first 9s but my favorite are Eley Olympic Trap. It's as gentle as a lamb on the shoulder. I've shot many a 100 bird sporting without any pain. I used to shoot a Miroku 12G MK60 30 inch Grade1 Game F/C 1/4 3/4. but it used to kick me like a mule so I chopped it.
