rock47 1 Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 What if any after market chokes are available to be installed in the saiga 12 gauge bbl. I am talking about a gunsmith doing the work and want to know if the bore diameter and barrel wall are efficient for our USA chokes. I have a desire to get rid of my current saiga screw-on chokes and have Winchester or remington Screw-in chokes installed, so that I can have a shorter modified barrel with opitons. I could even install a Pattern Master choke and get super tight patterns with buck shot and recoil reduction with the chokes outer ports. So help me out here, cost is not a matter, functional reliability is a must! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tomme boy 0 Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 (edited) This is who did mine on my 20 ga. colonial arms It is the true choke version. They have a bunch of differant styles of chokes available. The RC will stick out of the end about a inch. It took about a week and a half round trip to get the gun back.

Bvamp 604 Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 i had a local smith put a turkey choke on my saiga 12. you shouldnt have a problem, and if you have any good shops local to you, they should be able to hook you up just fine. i think it might even be legal for you to go to a machinist there, actually. the tap is really whats gotta be right. i shoot high brass a lot out of the saiga because of the lessened recoil, and i have zero problems with it. i would guess maybe 1200 rounds have been sent through that gun? maybe more? i started with a 22" barrel and its cut down to 18.5", choke sticks out about an inch on mine, with the porting. this extra inch from the ported chokes out there is NOT- i repeat -NOT part of your barrel length as far as ATF is concerned. hope that helps.

rock47 1 Posted January 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 Wow guys, thanks for the reply. I will continue to search my local area, but definately would like to know the cost$$$$ you paid for the screw-in choke job you guys had done on your Saiga's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bvamp 604 Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 actually, my work was done on the barter system. i would guess it would be a bill tho, not much. i should call the guy up, i need to know what type of threading i actually have now. i think im using winchester threading now. i pretty much have this gun the way i like it now, so if i want anything else done to it, ill just get another saiga and start fresh they sure are priced right.
