doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion DoubleGun BBS @ doublegunshop.com Chokes in a Damascus gun?

As Stan said Dean at Skeet's is good to go. Briley does make good bolt closers for 390s. Never will touch a set of my barrels again after they botched not one but two re-bluing attempts on two sets of Perazzi barrels for me.

Gentlemen...thank you all.

So this may not be so far-fetched an idea as I originally thought? Very interesting option to consider as I will likely have more than one candidate for such a modification.

Quick response from Briley

YES, WE CAN SCREW CHOKE DAMASCUS BARREL. BUT THE SHAPE OR THE BORES, CHAMBER AND THICKNESS OF BARRELS.
IT WILL BE UP TO THE GUNSMITH ONCE HE HAS BARREL IN HAND.

like tits on der bull...

A lot of those `pre choke` barrelled guns can shoot better than many imagine !!! I`d try shooting more and thinking less before messing with them.Hth

If I think about the choke in the barrel, I usually miss the bird.

Best,

Well, from the other side of the camp, I like the option of some choke. I hunted with a 16 ga. CYL/CYL percussion double muzzleloader for some time, and still have it, shooting doves and quail. I ALWAYS wished I had some choke.
i experimented with loadings to attempt to extend my range, mostly unsuccessfully.

Out to 25 yards CYL is fine. Much more, and I want the density that some choke provides. I have always suspected that those who extol CYL as wonderful for gamebirds might need some shooting lessons for longer shots. JMMOMV.

Edited to add: The above statement is meant for larger bore guns like 12s. The smaller the bore and payload the more choke I want, to maintain density in the pattern.

some how hit don seem appropriate...

sorta like dim single triggers an ejector thingies...
