pestcontrol1 Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Hope this is in the wright place. I have a 4" extension to screw onto the end of a shotgun barrel but i changed my gun not long back and now the theads are not wright so my question is. can it be rethreaded to the same thread as my choke thread in the baikal or is it not posible. Thanks for any info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPARKIE Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 why would you want to extend the barrel ? to get closer to the birds lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimfireboy Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 I'm thinking about getting a 40 yard barrel extension for long shots. Might be able to hit em then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDAV Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 SO why didn't you buy a longer gun when you bought a new one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDAV Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 then why not wait? seems daft to buy a gun when you know you shoot better with a 4" longer one and not do anythign about it, hey i guess thats just me then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pestcontrol1 Posted November 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 dint say out about shooting better with a longer barrel i like the pattern i get when i am using bigger goose loads and the kills are cleaner at greater hights but 28" dose for everything else each to there own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Rizzini Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 I think I may have the answer for you 1- Use some WD40 (40 standing for how many attempts it took to get right) and a toothbrush and clean the threads on your barrel extension. 2- when cleaned dry off with an old lint free cloth 3- clean gun as normal 4- find a suitable bench that will hold your gun and a few tools 5- find an old kitchen roll tube and mark 4inch and cut with scissors 6- use double sided tape to stick to end of barrel 7- color (or colour) the tube with black sharpie marker 8- job down and now your confidence is sorted for the geese 9- send me £2000 via paypal for giving away my blue peter shotgun secrets Sorry couldnt resist but perhaps your new gun wouldnt pattern the same as the old one anyhow so best to maybe forget the hassle and enjoy your new gun for what it is and if it doesnt suit find another in the future. As you stated "each to there own" so as long as your happy and confident with your gun its doesnt matter what other people think mate. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
