Hi all,

I'm new in this forum, and I'm thinking on buying a new (used) gun.
I hunt most of the time woodcock and grouse, so i need a short barrel with open chokes for tick covers.
I have my eyes on a breda 24 inc with external choke ... Do you guys think that i can use that gun without choke? is that to be consider open or cylinder?

Second question is: does a rifle barrel shotgun work even for small pellet like number 8 helping the dispersion?
My personal gun is a Beretta ultra ligth SR that have the first barrel slightly rifled made for spreading the shot.
Any advise is helpfull and if you have a gun for me you can pm me.

thanks

The only question I could give knowledgable comment on, would be the first one.
I think a completely open gun, no choke, would be too open. I don't think you could get a shot away while they were close enough for that wide open barrel to be effective.

Unless he is thinking of removing the choke all together thats in there, thereby exposing the threads. not a good idea
 
Shotgun barrels for shot are indeed smooth in the bore, but most that can use interchangeable chokes are threaded on the inside of the muzzle - the chokes screw in. If you were to remove such a choke and fire the gun with the internal threads exposed, cdngunner is concerned about the result. (I wouldn't want to do that, either.)
 
I wish you knew what your talking about!

Does the gun have conventional chokes or one of those ugly variable choke systems???

If it is an external variable choke I would assume that you could possibly take it off and shoot without it. But I would first ask a gunsmith since I dont know if external cut thread reduce the strength of the barrel. Ask a gunsmith.

Also you risk the chance of ruining the fine threads so that you would need a gunsmith to rethread or you would ruin them altogether
