Daveo26 Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Stop me if this is a stupid question............ Iv got cyl, 1/2, 3/4 and full chokes that came with my lincoln no.2 shotgun. the only one thats really any use is 1/2. my brother is an engineer and has access to an engineering shop, where he works. Would it be possible for him to open the full choke out to 1/4? He said hed measure the cylinder and 1/2 chokes and machine the full one to half way between the two. I know it can be done on fixed choke guns, is it dangerous, dodgy to try? Itll have more meat than the cylinder choke has? I could buy a new choke i think mandel do them but ill never use full and it would be free to have it altered any thoughts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Crack on , its perfectly possible to open out a choke tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunman Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Certainly possible but just a bit difficult as you are working on a very thin piece of metal and there is a risk of damage to the threads . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Poon Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 If I had the equipment I'd do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sishyplops Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) Buy a new one matey or ask on here for a used one you must be able to pick one up for 20 quid or so, at a guess I would suggest pro made choke tubes are set in a block jig that would allow the tube to be screwed into a larger block which is then inserted into a chuck, otherwise you stand the risk of damaging the tube, I have no doubt it can be done but why bother for £20 You may find a buyer on here for yours maybe even a swap , it will cost more in time Than buying a used one Edited November 11, 2014 by sishyplops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Of course it can be done but probably easier to find a swap or SH one as there's a lot of chances to mess it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daveo26 Posted November 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Why is only one any good? Because I want 1/4 and 1/2, and I'll never change them, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdsallpl Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Because I want 1/4 and 1/2, and I'll never change them, I don't think a good engineer will have any problems achieving it with the correct machinery. But it does seem it would be easier to buy another. Then you haven't burned your bridges so to speak and will have that choke if needed in the future.

birdsallpl Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Because I want 1/4 and 1/2, and I'll never change them, I guess that's fine if you have decided on a particular clay discipline and the stands will always be the same and you will never do anything else. However my advise for what it is worth would be to leave your options open for the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 I would go with buying another choke and keep everything original. I would be suprised if your Lincoln will be your 'for ever' gun and when you come to do a part chop for another gun, you know, the one that never misses, you may well have devalued it quite a bit. Any additional chokes can always be sold seperately from the gun, should you decide to part with it. If it your intention to keep the gun then consider a couple of extended after sale chokes, which may well pattern better than your originals anyway. I have no immediate plans to part with my current Miroku, BUT, if I did, by removal of a recoil pad and the old one replaced, the gun would be back to original and a set of extended Briley's would appear for sale on here.

Cosd Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 The idea sounds plausible, but is it worth risking your barrels for the sake of the cost of buying another choke? Even if you couldn't find second hand ones, sell what you don't want and put money towards new ones would be my advice..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the big shot Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 If there the same as B Rizzini or Mcnab try guns gb.com. Teague flush fit chokes £15.63. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
