Re bore chokes on Reproduction ?

[GH-16]

I had Mike Orlen open up a set of repro 28" 28ga chokes with no problems. That was several years ago & there hasn't been any issues with them since.

Send them to a good barrel man like Kirk Merrington, Mike Orlen or Briley's & don't worry over something that doesn't need to be worried about. All of us gun guy's have a tenacity to overthink things sometimes.

Just curious...why not spreaders and then essentially have 4 choke choices?

BINGO!

I can't tell you the number of Repro owners that have opened their gun's chokes in an effort to make it their dream gun. Many of these are PGCA forum regulars that have justified these alterations by saying it's their gun and they are free to do whatever they want with it. True. But, most also claim they'd never sell the gun while they're living and let their heirs worry about it only to sell it down the road when their-gun-with-the-metal-ground-out-of-it didn't live up to their expectations. I have a couple of shooting buddies that have opened multiple Repros a multiple of times, only to sell each and every one of them.

There, I feel better.

Well I have had 3
28 in repros opened
Up to skeet , I C,
When I got the first
28 ga repro, a double trigger, 12 years ago ,i shot skeet
With the mod and full
Barrels until I got a straight
It took a year and
I figure 15000
shells.
I decided to make it easier
On myself and had the
Chokes opened up to skeet and IC.
I then was shooting
Straights one out of
8 rounds. I am not a competition shooter .So for my purpose it was
wonderfull.

Question?? what do you people do
With the Mod and full
Barrels, bet most not
Used
