usamark 1 Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 I'd like to get a rifled S20 and a rifled choke seems like the easiest route. I see that there are 'Paradox' rifled choke tubes availible for 12ga, but are there any made for the 20ga? The Hastings/Paradox website doesn't show them. Are there any other sources? I appreciate any help! thanks, Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I appreciate any help! thanks, Mark I don't believe S-20's were imported with threaded barrels. Also I haven't seen any factory S-20 chokes for sale anywhere. Best bet is to have it threaded for Rem Chokes as those are available as rifled. Here's a link....www.choketube.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AegisDei 2 Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Yep! There are... http://www.brownells.com/aspx/NS/store/cat...=10&si=True Some in Win-Choke and some in Rem-Choke thread patterns. Pick your poison, but find a good gun smith or they'll have a helluva time working with the Saiga since the barrel isn't removable and the barrel is made of chrome-moly coated steel I think? Something much harder and thicker than they usually deal with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Another option for adding a choke tube is to have a external sleeve brazed or welded to your barrel that's got the internal threads for the choke tubes. This is something custom gun shops do when adding chokes to thin walled barrels, so they will probably have to make the adapter custom to fit the O.D. of the saiga barrel.

BattleRifleG3 16 Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 More of an opinion than experience, but I'd also be inclined to go the external extension route. Actually I'd have half a mind to go with a fresh rifled barrel, but I'd need to read up on a few things first. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Actually I'd have half a mind to go with a fresh rifled barrel, but I'd need to read up on a few things first. I put up a post a few weeks ago looking for fully rifled barrels. No luck yet. I'd probably have to buy a used rifled barrel from another shotgun and cannibalize it to make something work. I'm not sure if the barrel lug is actually part of the barrel or if it's shrink fit on it. I'll have to look into this a little more after hunting season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BattleRifleG3 16 Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Someone posted that 12ga rifled blanks are available for barely over $100. Could 20ga ones be available from the same source? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Something much harder and thicker than they usually deal with. Actually, they're not too bad. I know you had your S-12 done up. My buddy at The Gun Barn did my buddy's S-20 for win-chokes for $70 and he had no problems. I've bored out my S-12 leftover chunk on the lathe and it is hard, but it turned just fine. BTW, I wouldn't mind doing an S-12 rifled barrel conversion. Anyone remember the topic it was posted in? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
usamark 1 Posted November 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Wow, you guys must shoot a lot of slugs to dedicate it to only that! I still want to be able to waste shot shells out of mine. Where do you get your slug ammo and how much is it? All I was looking to do was get enough spin to stabilize those spotter rounds.
