Wiggum Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 (edited) I've been using a muller U3 choke for around a year and have been really impressed with it until I came to loosen it off after a round of sporting this morning. I tried to turn it loose by hand but it was really tight which was strange as it's always hand tightened I then noticed a crack in the extended section that you could see daylight through. Upon removing the choke the split ran the full length of the choke. Has anyone had any dealings with Muller, what's there customer service like I don't have the receipt anymore. I'm glad I found it when I did as it could have been much worse if I hadn't. Edited April 19, 2015 by Wiggum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rimfire4969 Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 (edited) Check the barrel with another choke to make sure the thread is still good. I would think any company worth their salt should change it FOC. Just looked at their website and all chokes have a lifetime guarantee against manufacturing and production defects. I guess send it back and see what is said. Edited April 19, 2015 by rimfire4969 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiggum Posted April 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 (edited) Luckily no damage to the barrel or thread I shot compact with the standard beretta hp choke and it was fine. I will email muller tomorrow and see what they say. Edited April 19, 2015 by Wiggum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDS Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Quite frequent occurrence...quite a few split , stuck , or flying downrange example ,see here http://www.shotgunworld.com/bbs/viewtopic.php?f=95&t=386516 Muller deletes all criticism of these chokes on his websites... many have seen through the hype http://www.shotgunworld.com/bbs/viewtopic.php?f=95&t=216381&hilit=muller+cure you are bound to have problems with dissimilar metals with differing expansion rates due to heat i.e aluminium choke in steel barrel Another case of the Kings new clothes...how many ceramic coated frying pans can you get for the price of one of these chokes ?

rimfire4969 Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 If they won't replace it and you have not done anything wrong I would make sure you splash these photos across as many forums as you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 (edited) Nicky Truter is dead straight and a thoroughly decent lad. I think he should be given the chance to comment.

Wiggum Posted April 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 I have emailed Muller and Nick has already replied asking me to return the choke so I can't fault him in that especially as it's a Sunday. The only problem is I no longer have the receipt for the choke and have just replied telling him this so I guess I'm screwed but I will await his response.

Westward Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Split Muller Optima choke. Hmmm... Sounds familiar. Hearsay from across the pond has it that Mr Muller himself appeared to claim in a blog it's Beretta's fault for making them too thin. Just stting here wondering what Mr Muller makes of CG Maxis chokes which are even thinner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westward Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 I use them in my caesar as do many of my shooting mates.no issues at all.great chokes My question was rhetorical. I've not heard of any Mullers failing in CGs either. Everything I've heard about Nicky T is good. I wouldn't hesitate to do business with him if I wanted Mullers.

Any reputable retailer would replace an item with this type of failure and take the problem up with the supplier/manufacturer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 90 Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 I've bought a set of Mullers for my Browning GP Trap - I went back the the Brileys it came with. I won't/don't recommend them to anyone.

Nicky T Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Hi James, Just seen and replied to your follow up email; apologies for the delay a family Sunday dinner got in the way of responding to emails. I'm confident that I will be able to trace your purchase so am more than happy to utilise that as your proof of purchase. Damaged chokes can, and do, unfortunately occur for a number of different reasons regardless of the brand of choke: To better educate shooters we have created the following FAQ highlighting several important points to remember regardless of brand of choke used: http://mullerchokes.eu/about/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, By your forum name alone I have no idea of the history of your situation, but you are very welcome to contact me via mullerchokes@hotmail.co.uk and if I can assist further I gladly will.
