Default Teague fixed chokes

Are these still available in the good old USA! Anyone have any experence with them? I have a 1 frame 12 ga underlever that has very open chokes and not enough barrel wall thickness for Briley. I understand the Teague chokes can be permently installed ?

In the UK, Teague has been absorbed by Westley Richards. In the US, there may be some fellow in MT who is still doing it. But I may be wrong on that.

In either case, the process is not cheap. Plan on well over $1000 to put Teague liners in a gun. This is probably why the idea failed. Too expensive on too many guns. Worth it on a Purdey or Boss... but for an average Parker?

I thought Teague also offered just choke inserts rather than full barrel liners. ? I may just have to try and find a second barrel with some choke in it .

Good barrel evaluation requires a good barrel man. I'd contact Kirk Merrington for options. There is none better. His website is merringtongun.com

If there is sufficient wall thickness, how about jug chokes?

Have you considered permanent choke sleeving by Mike Orlen? His price list quotes $95/bbl., $75 if you're a dealer or member of the SGW BBS.

Trying to find a set of barrels for a lifter I would think will be difficult unless you buy a gun just for the tubes. Whats wrong with the open chokes?

I was fortunate to be able to spend some time with an excellent instructor, Carl Brandt. The open choke, 5 mm, was great out to 35 yards but beyond that was a problem. I switched to a tighter choked 20ga and did well, so it was not me. Yes, finding a 30" 1 frame underlever barrel with some choke is difficult.

Talked to Michael and he can not do soldered in chokes on a Dam barrel. The metal is to soft. He can jug choke it though and feels he can give me 10 thousands constriction. Worth a try.
Thanks
