Gunsmith that threads shotgun barrels for screw in chokes?

[jeff43]

Anybody know a gunsmith that puts in screw in chokes close to McMinnville?

Can you not do it yourself? Or is the question "I need someone to thread my barrel for screw in chokes?"

[jeff43]

Lol . I need the barrel threaded for screw in chokes.

Sorry, just wanted the clarification since your comment was "gunsmith that puts in screw in chokes." Lol.

Don't know anyone in your neck of the woods but Bennie Schade at the Lebanon Gun Shop is an excellent shotty smith. (615) 547-9600.

What kind of shotgun?

 

Might be cheaper to buy a barrel that is already setup to accept chokes. I was looking at having this done to a Saiga shotgun and I want to say they were saying it would be $100+ to do it.

[jeff43]

Yeah,probably worth more than the shotgun I was wanting to do .I do have a Remington 870 16 ga I would like to have chokes put in or find another barrel for.I know that would be really hard to find.
Thank Jeff

Does he do good work,I called and asked to talk to the gunsmith and told him I had a barrel I wanted thread for Rem chokes.This is another barrel I have that is a 12 ga 1100 barrel I wanted shortened and threaded.He said it would be $75 which I didn't think was bad.
Thanks Jeff

It depends on the thickness of the abrrel which choke can be installed. Later I will write up the diminsions for each choke.

 

Everybody wants a remchoke but it won't work on every barrel.

Here are the dimensions for threading for a choke tube.

[jeff43]

This one already has Rem chokes so I guess it should be thick enough.I just want it cut down shorter and threaded.

[Dolomite_supafly]

But the bore may be different at the cut off point.

Odds are you are right but the only way to tell is to chop it and measure.
