wymberley Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 I'm new to multi chokes and have just noticed that mine are slightly recessed at he muzzle which leaves the thin metal liable to damage. Someone - I can't find the post - very recently posted that the extended Teague chokes protect the muzzle. As Title, a good tip and one I'll act on. Many thanks.

station Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 I've mentioned this in previous posts along with others and find them just better all round. What gun is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted February 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 I've mentioned this in previous posts along with others and find them just better all round. What gun is it? Maxus. Given a choice I'd have gone for a fixed choke. The recess is not excessive; just enough to peen the choke in place following a knock. Once the gun is bedded in and I find out what cartridge length it will and will not shoot I'll get the appropriate choke for my needs.

walshie Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 It'd have to be one hell of a "knock" to peen the choke in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted February 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 It'd have to be one hell of a "knock" to peen the choke in. Yep, should have said, 'peen' which I meant to. It wouldn't take too much of a knock to bend the very end of the muzzle. Not serious but It seems daft to risk it when there's something available to prevent it and improve the gun.

They don't have the prtection of an extended choke and they get the ends mashed very often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, agree but the wall thickness at my muzzle is about half of that on a fixed choke so a minor knock could cause a problem which is avoided by the expenditure of a few quid with the probable bonus of an improved performance thrown in. A case of paying your money and taking your choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old rooster Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 If you don't want the expense of changing to a whole new set of chokes why not dress the muzzles back to suit the length of the chokes you already have? Not sure what sort of battering you guys give your guns but it should be pretty unlikely that they would be easily damaged if the chokes were flush with the muzzle end?

See Post #3 - just the one, 1/2. Why alter and devalue the gun? Change the choke? Then change the cartridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
