Posted this in the Gunsmithing forum, perhaps it would be a better fit here...? Have a look guys, let me know what you think;
Hey guys, really hoping the collective knowledge/experience (and parts bins ) of all the members here might help me out here..
My favorite, and only 12ga. shotgun is an 11-48 I inherited from my grandfather a long time ago. While I've been tempted to get something more modern for hunting, this thing shoots too well in my hands and of course, always brings back great memories of my grandfather. I could go into more about the gun, my plans for it, but I'll cut to the chase;
I started a search for a second barrel I could alter to have the ability to use interchangeable chokes. With a gun this old, they're not that common. Anyhow, the only one I've found (and bought) was a full choke in nice condition (flawless bore) but missing the bronze friction ring. Now, the gun's original fixed/mod. barrel has the part and while I COULD probably just swap it out when wanting to use this barrel, I consider it a barrel part that I don't want to mess with and risk losing.
Short story long, do any of you guys have, or know where I could buy one of these, new or used? Looked on the Numrich site, and see something similar for 11 series Remingtons, but it doesn't look like the right part.
Thanks for taking a moment to respond.
