wisdom Posted September 2, 2022 Report Share Posted September 2, 2022 Are the internal choke threads standard or are they particular to a gun manufacturer? Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are particular to individual manufacturers and some have different within their shotguns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted September 2, 2022 Report Share Posted September 2, 2022 It can vary. As already stated, they can vary within the same Manufacturer. Also to confuse you further, some aftermarket chokes by Teague or Briley are peculiar to a specific gun. Usually after the gun has left the factory with fixed chokes and then been converted to a multi choke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose if I could find a box of the glass balls filled with feathers you might be more amenable? They were apparently invented in the late 1800s!

I think at the prices they make when originals come up at auction occasionally, it would be cheaper to shoot driven grouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't shot at a grouse for at least 3 years now, maybe 4. And none for me in Scotland this year either I hear. As far as I can remember the last one I did shoot at ended up on the table. Walked up was the only type of grouse shooting within my budget, and age (in the legs) is making walked up in the future unlikely, Walked up grouse is a pursuit to enjoy when young and (reasonably) fit. I would urge anyone who has the opportunity whilst still reasonably young and fit to seize the chance as it is a wonderful form of shooting.

Gas seal Posted September 4, 2022 Report Share Posted September 4, 2022 Hi Wisdom if you look at Gemini chokes website you can see that some chokes fit a number of different makes of shotguns. If you have any questions you can email them they are very helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do it now, you will not regret it. I was fortunate to shoot driven grouse four times in the 1980’s, and I have shot walked up a few times since. My last grouse was 8 years ago now, when I went to the far North and tried a day over pointers, which was a fabulous experience, but much easier targets. As John above, with ageing legs I don’t expect to be doing it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
