Hi

If it is fixed choke the only way is by taking it to a gunsmith and having some choke removed or by having a multi choke fitted

I understand it will need to be sent away for reproofing after being bored out - just be aware of that, it adds cost and time to the job.

Yep, gunsmith job. They might be better putting a multichoke thread in so you can change choke... Quite pricy, i'd have thought, though.

I don't think it needs to be submitted for reproof if you just have some choke removed....any competent gunsmith should be able to do it!

no need for a reproof unless the choke goes beyond the original bore (chokes are a constriction so thicker material)

 

There is a larry potter video 2 minute job.... teague do it if your nearby http://www.teagueprecisionchokesltd.co.uk/choke_adjustments_&_specialist_regulating.html

My father had a choke reamed out some time ago and had to send it for a reproof.

I enquired about having the chamber reamed out on an old gun to take longer (modern) cartridge cases and was told it needed a reproof after the work was done, i.e that any work seems to need it proofing afterwards.

Maybe some RFD are getting it wrong, or just trying to cover themselves?

Chamber i can understand as it would need reproofing for the longer cart, as long as the choke is Bore + 0.00X" then removing material to make choke > Bore it still in proof. When multi-chokes are retro fitted they have to cut deeper than the bore for the threads to allow you a cylinder choke.

This process involves boring and honing out fixed choke shotguns to the required bore size. IE. From 1/2 and full to improved cylinder and 1/4. It is advisable to submit the complete shotgun, so a pattern check can be made.

 

All gauges can be adjusted, 10 - 12 - 16 - 20 - 28 - .410

 

This adjustment does not require reproofing

 

Doesn't mean the gun doesn't require reproofing for another reason pitting etc

It will cost you more to buy a reamer than it will to take the gun to a gunsmith, they only charge around £50 to alter a choke and if they mess up they will have to replace it , if you mess up then its knackered !!
