Know A Gunsmith That Has A Lathe and can Choke a Shotgun Barrel???

[WarPig]

I have a Remington 870 barrel that is unthreaded and I need a choke tube put in it.

Anyone had this done here in Tennessee or period that you would recommend?

I don’t know anyone, but this is the first place I would check. Even if they don’t do it; they may give you some names.

They list a bunch of places here for specialty parts and repairs. I don’t see anything in TN, but there is one listed in AR.

Mike Orlen has a very good reputation but is in MA. It most likely will not be a Rem choke as the older fixed choke barrels are not thick enough.

I'll give him a call. This one is a 10 inch barrel so it's extremely thick, not a fixed choke barrel like on an older shotgun.

I have tooling for the 12g Win Choke II, Browning Invector , Moss Accu II etc, etc. tubes if that's of any interest. Minimum Barrel Diam at muzzle must be .855

Very generous offer. I fancy myself a trigger puller, not a trigger installer. I'm not sure I would trust myself to do that on a barrel that would be very difficult to replace and certainly not cheap.

I think I found a guy to do it for me. I'll keep y'all posted.
