I have a question for the shotgun guru's. I really hope it hasn't been covered before, as I just ran a few searches and came up empty. Here goes. A few years ago I purchased a 12ga Franchi Alcione O/U. It was a mixed set from a dealer that went out of business and didn't come with a complete set of chokes nor a tube wrench. It did come with a second set of 12ga barrels though
The choke I got with it were Cyl, Impr. Cyl., Mod, Mod, Impr Mod. I recently began shooting skeet using the Cyl and Impr Cyl but would like to purchase a pair of extended skeet tubes and possibly get a complete set of aftermarket tubes to use for hunting aswell.
I was on the Trulock Chokes website and they have what I want in their "Sporting Clays" model under Franchi "new" which is what I believe I need as the threads on my chokes go right to the end where as the old ones apparently stopped before they got to the notches. The Briley Chokes website says to use the Bennelli Mobil Choke for my gun, they also have a similar extended choke listed.
Are both of these set ups compatible with my gun? Are neither one of these the ones I want? Is there something better for me too look at? Can I even order them up here? Sorry for all the questions, but I find it a little confusing. I guess I should have just bought a Browning or something else a little more common
Thanks for any help you can give.
