choke tube repair 20 guage

smokey63 · October 31, 2012, 10:56 AM

I'm working on a 20 guage barrel that was shot with a loose choke tube and actually blewout when fired.My question is can this be epoxied like a barrel liner and be a safe and perminate repair? Has anyone tried this? smokey63

No, it cannot be epoxied back in. The barrel would need to be cut back and threaded for the choke insert.
