Where to get some decent 20 ga mobile chokes?
I need to get a few mobil chokes for a new to me 390 20 gauge, along with a wrench. Randy Wakman recommends the Trulock flushmount.
What else would you recommend, and where would you get them? |

Briley - from Briley - they are the original in this area
Trulock is good, as is Seminole If you get extended versions, no wrench is needed |

Briley....
But you don't need a wrench .../ if they're too tight to get out by just sticking your finger inside the tube and screwing it out ...( they need to be cleaned and lubed - and put back in - "Finger tight" - not with a wrench). Wrenches have ruined a lot of barrels ...by somebody cranking them in when they're cross-threaded ....and its sad !! |

What's wrong with the ones Beretta makes?

IIRC, Briley makes Beretta's chokes (as they do for a lot of Italian guns as well) at their Italian operation, but there is nothing wrong with Beretta's versions

I prefer extended chokes. They don't require a wrench and they protect the muzzle from dings. Lots of good manufacturers. I have a lot of Angle Ports and really like them, but Trulock, Briley and others should be fine too.
Let's face it, it is a tube. It ain't rocket surgery. As long as the bore and exterior are concentric it should do its job. The manufacturers would like for you to believe its a lot more complicated than it is, so they can justify charging you $40.00 to $50.00 each.

Zippy's right - we shouldn't neglect to just say buy them from Beretta.
I think Briley makes Brownings screw in chokes as well ..and I've always just bought them direct from Browning. |

All I am trying to say is that any reputable maker will more than likely supply a quality product, and they are making a very handsome profit on it. I don't begrudge them that, but bear in mind that about 75% of the stuff said about choke tubes is pure marketing hype. Well unless, of course you are talking about Muller chokes. Those really ARE magic.
