I have the 28ga Browning, Briley and Carlson's choke tubes marked "Invector" and "Invector Plus"...they all interchangeable. Bore size remains the same on all. As stated by 3macs1 last comment, the length of taper, parallel section and final finish are the only difference. Interestingly enough, they are also interchangeable with my 28ga Ithaca M37!
Browning 28 ga bps choke question
- Thread starter total disaster
- Start date
Finally a member with some 28ga invector plus Now that is good information to have. I knew briley made the chokes for the 37 but I honestly never tried any of my brownings in it to see if they were the same thread etc
Those ithaca's are sweet in 28ga almost as sweet as a wingmaster
Now you got me wondering if the set they made for the 28ga ruger will fit also Humm worth checking
Thanks

So you are comparing both invector , and invector plus, both flush, or both extended, and both labelled Browning? Or are you comparing one brand to another brand, or flush to extended?

These are what I have in 28ga tubes.
Browning Invector (flush)
Browning Inv+ (flush and extended)
Briley Invector (extended)
Carlson's Invector (flush and extended)
Ithaca Ithaca Plus (flush)
Same thread pitch, same nominal bore size (give or take a couple thou)

As I thought marketing. I'll be ordering some chokes soon!
So if the two Browning flush chokes, invector and invector plus match up dimension wise, then the question is answered, it's purely a labeling issue.
Ok if that makes you happy but they are not the same designs and the plus in a 28ga is a higher grade, different material and improved tolerance choke tube which provides better patterns which is why they originally labeled it as they did. The give or take a couple of thousand and the internal changes makes them different
Just like a standard browning 12 ga invector plus is inferior to a 12ga browning diana grade tube or saying all remington 870's are the same because they are all 870 and the parts are the same dimensions and will interchange. Just a labeling issue also between an express and a wingmaster
Same thing applies here with these 28ga tubes.

On that theory every aftermarket choke should be labled different? And inv plus 12 and extended inv plus are different ? No they fit same gun. Yes one may preform better but still the same
What are you talking about it is not theory and the fact they fit means nothing. Take a look at the various grades chokes for the invector plus 12ga and yes they are labeled different from the junk they come with to the high end ones
Extended and non extended here doesn't even come into play but really they are labeled different by different part numbers try buying an extended from Briley off the standard length listing it is not going to happen
I don't know how else to explain it the designs are different maybe I think differently being in engineering my entire career I don't know
But you are not comparing two the same apples here one may be a grannysmith but the other is a honey crisp
A china 69 dollar rotor fits my truck as does a 250.00 GM but they are not even close to being the same grade or tolerances nor will they last so to me they are not the same nor are the apples
Then again maybe you are one of those guys that own a 870 express and think it is as good and the same as my 870 wingmaster I don't know
Ask yourself this if it is just an etched label difference why do they sell the extended 12 ga inv plus for 44.95 but the extended spectrum for 59.95 exactly the same as far as fit goes

Mostly because we will buy it and pay to have better. I'm not saying quality is no different I'm just saying there is no reason to say they are a different choke leading guys to think they can't buy do to them lableing them as plus
I know what's good and what's junk but the main reason for this post was prove they are interchangeable and labled to make guys think they can't buy inv plus 28

Understand But I shared why they did what they did from a friend into 28ga state side and it made sense obviously to the briely engineers and marketing team to approve it at the time which is clearly now looking back a real bad idea and cost them sales
I think we achieived what the Op asked here or sure hope we did since there was a lot of time spent on it
In the end are they the same chokes as standard invector NO
Will they interchange YES

I don't even use Browning chokes, I use extended Briley chokes in all of my shotguns with removable chokes. However, if I ever come across a Browning 28 gauge labelled as invector plus, I now know that the Briley invector chokes will work just fine.
