Aaron, pay attention to the stock head on your Trojan. It appears to be showing signs of splitting. You should take care of that before you shoot it much more. It may never get worse... or it may.

If the Savages are like the A5s, you can not use a Magnum barrel on a 2 3/4" gun. Even if it did fit, 3" shells would not function through the gun.

As an aside, I see many more Remington Model 11s and Auto 5s than I do the Savage guns. I don't believe the parts interchange between any of them.

Question: Is the Savage like the Model 11 or the Auto 5? There are differences, no speed load, or mag cutoff in the Model 11.

I used to shoot high base 2&3/4 shells in my grandfather's ancient Model 11 all of the time. Strong guns, but indeed, don't shoot a 3"er in a barrel not made for them.

Is that auto with the choke device a Winchester Model 11? (Or is it a model 10?) Looks kind of like one. They are weird shotguns. They have finger grooves etched into the barrels about a foot down from the muzzle to help you grab it and cycle the action. Not a very popular gun either.

I was going to have Mike Shultz at gunsmithing ltd take a look at it when I have the time/money since it has not been fired since the original owner passed away in the 70's

No it's another savage, a 775a 16 gauge with a mystery choke

I bought a savage adjustable choke collar but it does not fit, the threads are right but it only screws on about a half turn bore bottoming out.

It has no branding or markings on it whatsoever i now know it is not a "savage super choke" as that collet does not fit.
the threads are 16 TPI

anyone know what this is and how to make it complete?

thats a weird choke for sure..looks like it should be turned around and screwed in..just my thinking...charlie

I had one of those chokes on my Stevens 20 ga. pump that I bought new in '64.

I didn't like it at all and hack-sawed the whole thing off. The gear is where the spring-loaded ball in the collar keeps the collar in position.

Aaron, I have known Mitch Shultz for years and he has done some nice work for me. He can take care of the stock for you.

That wouldn't by chance be a poly choke.

Naw, dat ain't no Polychoke. I wonder if that threaded bit will unscrew? Looks like it might. There was a chock system called "PowerPac". I think they were made by Packmeyer. I have a Winchester Model 12, 20 gauge with one. Looks like a Lyman choke.
