Sorry about mis-spelling school...

I have a new Remington 1100 with screw in chokes and I'm tired of the chokes coming loose all the time.

I'd like to find a 30 inch vent rib replacement barrel with a fixed full choke. I did find a 28 inch, but I'd really like a 30.

Does anyone know where I could find one?

Remington is apparently only making new barrels with screw in chokes. That blows.

Watch the exchange. You may get lucky and find a 32 inch full choke. Thy were my favourite back in the day of lead shot for geese. .Dutch

32 and 34 today go for big bucks today unfortunately
Lots of 30" out the however priced reasonable
Have to admit this is the 1st time I have heard anyone wanting to go back to fixed from screw in chokes however
Cheers
 
All my 1100's are fixed chokes. MOD, Skeet 2 and MOD. The Skeet 2 is the result of opening up a 30" FULL. It is deadly on ducks with steel #4's. I like the idea of screw in chokes but 95% of my guns are fixed (with open dimensions) or Poly Choked.

That's cause you are like me real old school. :)
For example only us old farts like 16ga 1100's LOL. Shoot her yet??

Get a proper choke wrench. Or go to extended chokes that you can actually tighten. Carlson's makes an expandable rubberized choke wrench I have one and it tightens the snot out of chokes. I use silver anti seize on my chokes too.
 
I don't hunt much but I shoot a little trap, skeet and 5 stand.
I was at the trap range on Sunday and started on position 1.
When I finished station 4, I never missed a bird...
But then dropped 2 on station 5 that I felt I was right on. (I'm sure I was)

When I walked off the line, I checked my choke tube and sure enough it was loose again, quite a bit.

This has become "normal" and it's time to do something about it.

I just want a simple fixed choke so I can just forget about it and focus on my shooting.

I'll keep an eye peeled on EE though.
 
If that's the only problem, just a little bit of thread locker. I forget which one - blue or red - needs heat to be released, don't use that one.
 
I like the consistency of a fixed choke. I know what the pattern will be and what range. I adapt my shooting to that. I find that no matter what screw in choke I have it often is the one I don't want when the moment to shoot arrives. Fellow duck club member Cory the Cowboy and I have figured this out over years of duck shooting: we can hit and kill most ducks within 30 to 35 yards. We miss most ducks at 40 to 45 yards. Therefore we stick with open chokes and try to forget about the odd long range shot we might connect with. I have a pattern master choke in my 3 1/2" gun (Baikal MP153) and I have made very few long shots with it. End up going to my fixed IC and MOD barreled guns to increase my percentages. I realize that this argument really does not make screw in chokes undesirable but it does prevent over choking thinking about that long shot that may present itself. We also advocate and use Poly Chokes. There are most often set at "Slug or IMP CYL" we joke about having a smith spot weld the Poly at IMP CYL for all shooting.
