Had not thought about that.. Any idea what a smith would charge.
It would make the guns a lot more useful if they could take a choke. I've never taken a gun to a smith since I do it all my self but threading a barrel would be outside my DIY skills. |

Rose Action Sports lists threading at $75. I'm sure it is similar. In regards to 12 Gauge, for Remington, Winchester, Browning, and Mossberg chokes, the outside barrel diameter must be at least 0.845". Tru-Choke "Thinwall" tubes need 0.805". |

I don'e know how useful chokes are on a short barreled security gun, but shooting skeet with an 18.5" cylinder bore pump is giggles.

The primary reason you use longer barrels for things like duck hunting is the longer barrel is easier to track.. actually I might not be describing that right.. um.. It has a longer smoother sweep if that makes any sense. Cylinder bores suck for distance with shot, with the 18.5 barrel did you find it hard to track the clay's? Or have trouble with breaking them? |

Actually that is a good description. A longer barrel generally smooths out the swing.
Back in the day folks believed that longer barrels "hit harder" and that is not the case, but it makes for good advertising copy. The barrel on my SBT is 34" Pumps and autoloaders "feel" longer as the receiver is much longer vs. a break open gun. Long barrels have always been the case in trap, long barrels are currently popular in skeet. Lots of older skeet guns out these with short barrels. 24 and 26 inch are common.
