Nailbomb 10,221 Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 (edited) I have a polychoke, but i voted for pie. Mostly becaws i have the polychoke, but i'm hungry and really want some pie... havn't really done enough with the shotgun to verify how effective it is, but theres enough good word out there already for it.

GLOCKshooter 1 Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 I have the birdcage flash hider on my Tromix 8", and like it a lot. I have not fired an 8" without one, but the blast is not as bad as pictures and first hand reports had led me to believe it would be. I am still waiting on a custom krink flash hider.

Dylan 0 Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 I have a Tromix Shark on my 8" and like it I also have a polychoke on a factory 19" s-12 and have not had great patterns from it yet but I have not spent much time playing with it. With that all said my Tromix S-17 is getting 8" groups at 25yards with the fedral flight control 9 pellet buckshot which is perfect for me, I also have shot clays with it from a hand thrower just can't let them get very far.

This has me curious, about how far away would you say your effective range is with clays using the polychoke? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kelevra 1 Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 I didn't want to start a completely new thread when I figured it was related to this one... I believe the shortest barrel length here in NY is 18-18.5 inches. My question is (sorry if it's redundant to you long-termers, but I did search first) if I add a choke of some sort, does that add to the barrel length? In other words, if the choke was 3 inches, could I then thread it on a cut-down 15" barrel? I appreciate any responses from you knowledgeable folks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wakal 10 Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 As long as the attachment that makes the barrel over the magic 18" is permanently fixed in place, you are fine. Threaded attachments on a non-SBS sub-18" gun...not so good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gibbles 23 Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 I'm up in the air about what to stick on the end of my shotgun, I may end up going with the poly choke as it seems to be the most useful. I would like to shorten the barrel a bit an have it permently attatched in the end, I want an AK type front sight or I'll get one mounted on a rail... I dunno for sure... If I go SBS I want another S12 for that, I like having one as a non NFA. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bee_man1477 0 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 I have the slotted poly-choke and love it , I shoot clays with it and dont miss , i get a tight pattern at 40 yards with x-full . I use it for huntiing and works great Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gtnichols 51 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 (edited) +1 for the poly choke,.. it rocks,... now only if it looked cooler like a cutts compensator assembly I have the slotted poly-choke and love it , I shoot clays with it and dont miss , i get a tight pattern at 40 yards with x-full .

corbin 621 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 I think I'm leaning towards either a Polychoke or a Cutts compensator. I already have the Cutts, but for sheer versatility, you can't beat a Polychoke IMO. I agree with Gas Giant, too bad they don't look cooler. I suppose my "ultimate" muzzle device would have: 1: a polychoke type adjustable device 2: flash hider slots 3: a bayonet lug 4: the ability to secure a golf ball launcher for use with blanks Corbin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm going to use my 24" s12 for both bird and deer here in MD. If the Polychoke allows both slug and Birdshot patterning, i'll be very happy. Now a noob question in regards to the polychoke. The s12 i have coming in i think is externally threaded Would the polychoke just screw on? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nouse4aname067 0 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 great info, thread was very helpful. I have the Chaos Muzzle brake... but need something for clay shooting as well. I guess the polychoke II would be good to have. The fracking money i spend on this gun.../shrug. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
corbin 621 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Yes, A polychoke MEANT FOR THE SAIGA-12 would just screw on. You can get it from the E-Store this forum has. Note that it doesn't have any rifling in it, so although you could shoot slugs through it (Modified or Improved Cylinder setting only), it wouldn't be as accurate as a rifled choke tube that would screw onto the same threads on the end of the barrel.

nouse4aname067 0 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 corbin, this would allow a much more accurate shot though for Clay shooting vs the current chaos brake i have correct? I love my Chaos brake but not sure its the best for clay shooting.... Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Corbin I have the polychoke ready to order from the estore, now where would i find a Rifled choke that is built specifically for the Saiga? By the way Corbin, thanks for setting people straight over at THR.org, and the youtube clips were great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zone1935 5 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 (edited) Why not use the method that tony from tromix used to do on comp guns, screw in Rem. chokes, extend the choke wrench, and use whatever brake or hider you want? Reason for edit, spelling! Edited March 2, 2009 by zone1935 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
corbin 621 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 nouse4aname067, As far as I know, there's no Chaos brake with a built in choke. So yes, a choke (of any sort) would keep your pattern tighter compared to a brake. JT, No problem. I've done some other vids, but haven't edited them for public consumption yet. I'm going to do more showing my shooting technique soon. Corbin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It will add yet another Evil Foriegn part that you must compensate for. OR, you could add this brake from MAA. It looks almost exacty like it, is cheaper, and made in the USA! Thanks Nathan!

shades_of_grey 1,092 Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 (edited) Since muzzle brakes don't do dick on a 12-gauge, I chose Polychoke. I've a Polychoke II on my S-12 and at the very least it tightens shot patterns. What's your "breacher muzzle brake" done for you lately? Jack shit? That's what I thought!
