Spoon Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 Hi all, I'm looking for a second opinion/a sanity check. The Teague fairy has sent me a ported Mobil choke, and the only gun I have that fits Mobil is my Hatsan Escort Luxano. It's an old model and through measurement and marking I determined it to be threaded for Mobil so popped the new arrival in. What I found was that it sits snugly (using the Teague key) but leaves about a half turn of thread showing. I've measured the space in the barrel for the choke, the original internal chokes and compared that to how much of the new Teague is sat inside the barrel and it all seems to be identical. My only experience of extended chokes is with the V3 Hatsan's which have the thread on the bottom. Based on my ramblings, and the photo attached, am I mad for thinking its perfectly safe to use the choke? And before its said, I'm aware it doubles the value of the Hatsan 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 Only one way to establish that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the Luxano comes with two barrels, but the second one already had a choke blow out from a previous owner so the sanity check is to avoid having two unchoked 24" barrels! But as you say, the proof is in the pudding... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJsDad Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 Well, looking at the way that fits; I would have to say, sooner you than me ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 A friend had a similar problem with an Armsan. They also accept the Mobil chokes, or at least some of them ! Some Beretta Mobil chokes screwed right home and some did not. He only used those that fitted correctly to avoid any problems. Your choice, but I do not think I would risk it.

Spoon Posted May 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 Teague advised it would be safe provided the choke screwed up to the safety step. Quick inspection and it did, so 105 shots later I can confirm it did in fact work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
