Which screw in chokes tubes for an S-12?


Recommended Posts

I am considering dropping $400 on tooling to be able to install screw-in type choke tubes.

 

There is tooling readily available for the Tru-Choke, Win Choke, or Rem Choke?

 

Any preferences?

 

I ran some dims on them and even with the factory M22-.75 external thread in place, there would still be enough wall thickness to install any of the three. Win/Rem Chokes are at the bare minimum, while the Tru-Choke would have more then enough wall thickness.

 

Lets hear it now, because I have no plans to buy tooling for all three.

Kewl!!!..Does that mean if I send one of my S12s to ya to be TROMIX'd into a SBS..or buy one from you directly...Will you be able to make one that can have a extended choke accessory...So I can use it for longer shots?...Say like a 10" SBS extended to a 22 " ..or even just a full choke for the 10"er??..etc??..

The ones I have shot that you put the Tony magic on..seem to have a really thick barrel ..& I assume you are talking internal threads...?...

Thanks

Stay safer!

On the Choke vote..I'll go with whatever one Tony recomends/ Likes..produces..

Tony,

Excellent news! Rem-choke or win-choke should be fine. I glad you will be able to to this work and do it right considering the botched job the goobers at Colonial did to my Saiga 12.

I believe the Win Choke has the most availability in terms of choke tube selection. I would go with that...

 

I would think you could get any choke for any of these offerings.

 

If it were my decision, I'd try to figure what the majority of my Saiga owners ALREADY have in their closets. I'd guess that there are a whole lot of Rem choke tube owners out there, as that gets your 1100/1187 and 870 owners, but I don't know if they are likely Saiga owners. A poll like this might be the best way.

 

For me, I'd prefer Remmy.

I put up this post to try and find a majority vote based on what most guys have/want.

 

If it was completely up to me on my personal gun(s), I would go with Rem chokes, since I already have a bunch of those.

 

But, business is not about what "I" want. It's about what the majority of the consumers want. That's why I am asking you guys.

 

Same deal on my shark brake. I posted it up to get input......and I got it. I need to change it. My idea was not the best. You guys have some better ideas, and I'm listening.

Rem Chokes get my vote although there are more makes & models of guns that have/take Win Chokes.

I've seen a wider selections for the Rem Chokes at local retailers, but anything can be had over the internet.

 

Tough descision...

Tony:

 

I'm surprised at the number of guys that want winchokes. Look at the number of specialty chokes in Brownells especially the patternmaster (best 00 buck choke there is we've tested a bunch at our range) If a guy simply wants a choke then I guess winchoke is OK, but there is a larger variety in remchoke. The most expensive piece is the carbide reamer and you can do both win and rem by having two different threading dies. I'll take any choke that the patternmaster is made for which ain't winchoke.

 

Thanks,

LEO

LEO hit the nail on the head...I feel the better chokes typically are Rem-choke. That's what my S12 is threaded for, and I'll probably next have a Rem 870. So if it were MY choice, I'd go Rem-choke too. But for cheap, readily available, Win-choke I thought would be better, but it sounds like both are fairly available. Thus, Rem-choke seems to be taking the cake.

I'm interested in the tru-choke thread. That would make it interchangable with my SPR-453. I'm for it!
