Tod Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 What are you going to use it for ?, not ideally choked for a hide gun or rough shoot gun, worth about 150 quid, if i were you id have a gunsmith open the choke a little to make it more usable.

Liam-1990 Posted December 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 I was thinking about getting it changed to about half choke will see how much its going to cost me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker56 Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Is it not possible to have the barrel threaded to take multi chokes give you more options of choke choice . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Is it not possible to have the barrel threaded to take multi chokes give you more options of choke choice . It is at 3 times the cost of the gun!!!! Loads of these old franchi's about probably find a second barrel for less than having it opened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam-1990 Posted December 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 The process for opening the choke looks fairly simple so hopefully wont cost alot and the guys at the gun shop always do me abit of discount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
