Moltke Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Sooner or later I'm going to destroy my choke by dumping my 8rd tube shotgun into a barrel. Should I get a choke flush with the barrel or is there some kind of extension I can use on the magazine tube to take the impact? What are you other Irons/Factory/Limited shooters doing?

kurtm Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Hmmm, I've never bent an extended choke, ever, and I have never run long tubes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BitchinCamaro Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I would rather ding up and replace an extended choke instead of dinging up the leading threads of the muzzle with a flush mount choke. That said, I use extended Brileys and repeated harpooning into the dump barrel hasn't caused any noticeable damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiggerJJ Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 dropping it on a rock from 10 feet, maybe need to worry about it... PLACING it in a dump barrel, no worries... jj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJW Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I have a 12 round tube and an 18.5" barrel. I don't think my choke tubes have ever touched plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easier and cheaper to replace an (extended) choke tube than a barrel...not that I have ever dinged up a choke beyond safe use anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtm Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 (edited) All these answers are quaint. Since 96 my extended choke has been abused, dropped, banged on props, ditched, spiked, jamed, etc. Because I run a short tube, it has been the first point of contact........I still don't need a new choke, but please make up some kind of protector for the choke tube in your gun......you will sell a million of them.......or not Edited July 23, 2015 by kurtm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moltke Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 I am surprised to hear that I'm the only one who's experienced this happening. Before I bought a 12rd tube I ran an 8rd tube and split a briley extended choke dumping it in a barrel. They replaced it immediately but I just don't want it to happen again. I would rather have the mag tube take the impact than the muzzle OR choke but if there's no ready solution than I'll figure it out. Thanks everyone.

kurtm Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I'm not surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BitchinCamaro Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I'm still agreeing with KurtM, but in principle I'd rather have the choke eat it rather than transmitting force through the mag tube and having your entire receiver shit the bed.

7.62mm Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Mossberg solved this problem by installing a Bayonet Lug on their 590A1....maybe other manufactures could take the hint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunnar Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 +2 extension from Nordic costs so much less than anything else. I have not run a flush fit tube, so I am not sure what kind of damage I have had so far, but it seems like something that would make the loading easier if you are attending matches that limit the tube capacity to 8 rounds only.

MTGlass Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I have a Mobil breecher choke along with an extended Light Mod. Documentation in the package referred to the Breecher as IC. It was too cheap to pass up in a Cabela's bargain cave. http://www.choketube.com/choke-tube-style-details.php?cts=24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Llandaff Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 In IPSC we have no such decision. Magasin is always longer than the barrel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrysuperhawk Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I actually had my 590 threaded for choke tubes, and then proceeded to purchase all extended tubes. Those of you that know me know that I am harder on my equipment than most, and I have actually had that particular shotgun go choke first into concrete a couple of times, as well as being sucked into a bunch of dump barrels. The only problem I have ever had was one of the concrete Adventures left the leading edge of the choke dent in, about like you would a cardboard tube. For grins I pounded it back to round with a piece of bar stock and a hammer, and it still threads in just fine.

Brileys are made for clay shooters who rest their chokes on their toes. Get some Carlsons extended. Tougher, cheaper too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
