Can a choke be shorted.i need to cut about 3quarter of a inch off to allow it to sit right

It is too long to allow it to go fully in

 

 

Just checked the date, it is NOT April the first!

 

Could you post a picture or two, we would love to help with the problem.

Chokes are precision engineered.and should not be hacked about to make fit a barrel they were not designed to go in.this is one aspect of our sport that does concern me greatly.that there are some who think because they have a couple of screwdrivers they are Gunsmiths.and proceed to try and undertake all manner of repairs and adjustments to guns.its usually the innocent bystander that will suffer the consequences of this practice.as said previously buy the correct fitment and be as safe as possible.

Take the gun to a real gunsmith/rfd there are many aftermarket chokes available for almost every make.they may even be able to source a original Wembley choke.

Yes I have tried chambers they don't have any .they don't have any thing for the 820

I have .infact they don't have much for the Webleys at all .i think I may as well bin it

I can not keep it for spares because all the main parts are different

The safe answer is NO. It could be dangerous.

 

Take it to a GUNSMITH.

There might be a clue there as to the value that you place on the gun. If that clue is a red herring, then you could speak to Teague who might just be able to make what you want, or - probably a cheaper option - simply ream out the end of the barrels and permanently install fixed chokes of your choice.

I do presume that you are having a bit of a 'Christmas Joke here ? But, just in case you are being serious, take the damned thing to a GUNSMITH, you do NOT know what damage you may have already done. Having seen barrels burst before, you will be very lucky if you escape injury. Worse still, if someone is near you when it blows, THEY could be seriously injured too. It is a LETHAL weapon that you are messing around with.
