Choke instalation

[Jawjadawg]

I inquired with Mike Orlen about installing chokes in damascus barrels not too long ago. He just flat out said it couldn't be done because the metal isn't strong enough to hold the threading, that I would wind up blowing the choke tubes loose. I didn't check with Briley, but would like to hear from anyone who has successfully had this operation performed on non-fluid steel barrels. I don't exactly view Mike Orlen as the end-all-be-all, but he was a better option than anyone locally.
