Where to get a barrel threaded for chokes?

[gwes2003]

I have a fixed full barrel that I'd like to get threaded for skeet chokes and steel shot for goose hunting. Any recommendations for where/who to get this done with would be greatly appreciated.

Many gun shops can do it, but often use ####ty (IMHO) Colonial chokes. Depending on the barrel, you may not be able to do what you want. You need to measure the inside of the choke area and the outside diameter of the barrel. Some barrels are too thin and there is not enough meat to install the tubes. Briley in Texas can do it if anyone can. Steve Milton (Precision Arms) in King City, Ontario may also be a good option.

Thanks for the info Beretta. I'll measure the barrel tonight and contact Precision Arms

If 12 or 20ga Epps has always done good work also

Not sure, but maybe a poly-choke would be an option for the older thin wall barrels? You see them on old Win M12s and Ithaca 37s

I have had Steve Milton of Precision Arms do several jobs for me over the years. He really knows shotguns and especially screw in chokes. He does very good work.

What model of shotgun are we talking about here?

There's an excellent gunsmith in Langley, if you live down there...or Weber and Markin if you live in the Okanagan...but they're a bit slower... You can get the Langley smith's name from huntingbc.ca...
