I'm pretty sure Guntech ( member here) does chokes for shotguns, as does Reliable guns, but they may not do chrome lined bores.

I do them. I ream and thread for Remchokes. I charge $75 for the job...shipping extra.
All you need to check is that the OD of your barrel is .845 or greater. I will also shorten to the length of your choice (as short as 18" for pumps/singles and 18.5" for semis).
Pm with questions.

Kind of suprized you guys are threading for rem chokes. I have had quite a few vintage guns done over the years and especially my remingtons always asked for rem chokes but they never had the barrel material requirements (Thickness) to be threaded for such and this includes Briley saying the same
This includes superx1, 1100, 870 and model12 to name a few I have had fitted in various gauges. Most recient a 410 wingmaster
In canada there are many sources to get 12ga and 20ga done for screw ins but all of the 10, 16, 28 and 410's I have had done had to be shipped to Briley in the US as well as any double barrels. Mainly colonial thin wall and briley tubes Do new guns have much thicker barrels?? have the rem chokes changed?? so they can be installed now in vintage barrels.
Are they being fitted in vintage guns?? or perhaps others use different tube tolerances as being acceptable . Just curious
Cheers

I have always sent mine to Briley as well. I currently have an SX1 with thin wall chokes. First rate job and quality.
Yes sir and not really any more expensive than others that do quality work. Briley has always been my choice for years
I have a superx1 skeet I held on to with the thin walls like yours
Kept it since it had some of the nicest tiger wood I have ever seen on a winchester cannot buy them like that off the rack any more

Just took a model 120 Winchester too the gun smith to have screw chokes put on a 30 inch full choke gun ; so I can shoot steel shot .. I was under the impression that the barrel could be cut back too 28 and the barrel would be thicker a bit back and the screw chokes could be installed .. I would end up with a 28 inch barrel instead of a 30 but would have screw chokes ...
Not the case ,, the barrel is too thin too do that and the barrel is getting bored or honed or whatever they do too make it a suitable choke for steel .. I have read many times where people have put screw in chokes on fixed choked guns .. I guess I was not so lucky .
As long as I can use steel in it I really do not care .. But I would have liked the screw in chokes though

When he measured the barrel it was the same size at 28 as it was at 30 .. Maybe I could have went back too 26 and made it work .
But I think a 30 inch modified choke should be just as good as .. If I had the screw chokes at 28 and a modified choke .
I just want it too shoot a few ducks and maybe a goose .

I think you will find Epps farms this work out. Precision Arms in King City possibly. Steve Milton at Precision Arms has been doing choke tubes since before they got trendy. He has done many for me years back without issue. He did my SX-1 in thin walls, and I had him do some work on my Classic Double. Good work, done right, no issues.
I'm curious about taking an older shotgun and having it threaded for chokes, namely a cheap 1100 and having the chokes done to allow for it to be a backup sporting gun for trap, skeet and sporting clays.
Will this negatively effect the gun in value or build at all?
Thanks.

It will affect the value, as it will be modified. But, do you really care about the value if a "cheap 1100"?
Also, you will need thin wall chokes for that gun. 1100's are to thin to choke with RemChokes
you have a point about the value, didn't think that through haha.
As you can tell, I'm new to this stuff. My dad is old school collector and hunter and I want to get into the sport side (20 years late, but better late than never).
What would you recommend instead of remchokes? I have a line on an 1100 in 3" and thought it would be an excellent all around one to modify into what I should have bought in the first place.

Tru-Chokes can be installed into thinner barrels, but I don't have the reamer/tap for them.
You should measure the OD of the barrel at the length you want to cut it to. Some if the 3" 1100's had thicker barrels. You need .845 OD to install Rem-Chokes

thank you for your help.
Right now I'm trying to figure out if its more worth it to buy an 1187 with chokes already or get an 1100, tap it and buy a skeet, mod and full choke separate. My budget is a low $600 range but for a backup semi I would prefer something with a history or reliability or at least common fixes.
I fear I'm derailing this thread and should start a new one haha.

Cheap 1100??? . That is a new one on me but any how. Installing choke tubes on a vintage 1100 will definately increase the value and make it much more versatile and easier to sell if you so desire down the road
I have many 1100 and many with briley or colonial thin walls installed. Have never seen a vintage one with Rem chokes PROPERLY installed just not enough barrel wall and I tried many times in many gauges even asking Briley numberous times
Not sure what is taking place today. Keep asking but no one enlightening me so far
I can put a 302 ford in my 70 chevelle also but it is not right
Cheers
