the past few IC threads reminds me of a Boss Gobbler getting hammered and all of his buddies jumping in to beat him even more.
i have always chose to shoot a PG . BUT have always admired the patterns that have been posted here on OG from a IC combo. i have been guilty as everyone else for throwing in a spur or two and i apologize for any comments that i have posted to fuel the fire. IC is a stand up company .i have heard nothing but good about there CS. I'm sure IC does not need or want this type of publicity. but I'm also sure that it will only fuel them to learn from any design flaws and make a better and stronger product. i wish them well.

I agree.. I hope they find a way to narrow down the problem chokes
It will make them better, and in turn if there is a way they will make their product better. I love their chokes and will continue to use them
had a problem with my is choke. called stuart. he made the problem go away fast. one great company for sure. will recomend them for a long time. every company has defects in there product it is how they deal with there customers that makes a great company and willing to talk to there buyers and make them happy
I talked to Stuart this week about a choke for a TC Pro Hunter. The guy is amazing. He gives a 30 day money back/choke replacement guarantee. His advice is sound. He is a man of integrity, and runs a great company, as far as I'm concerned..Mike
My wife runs one in her gun and I've ordered several for buddies guns and when I get my new gun next week odds are that's what will be in it, as far as the few issues they've had show me one man made product that has not had some sort of error.
Love Indian Creek chokes A few problems dosen't scare me I know they'll make it right.
It's just the way they are.
I have talked and worked with Stuart and there customer service is great. i have 4 ic. chokes and love them .
they will work it out.
keep up the great work ic. :icon_thumright:

I have an Indian Creek BDS in my 870 and I really like it. I'm not surprised that a ported choke fails from time to time. Ported chokes are not as strong as non-ported chokes. It's a fact. Also, I think the problem is possibly caused by pellets outside of the wad, which are forced through a tight choke, between the wad and the choke.
I have 3 of them myself and tell everyone that ask that they are hard to beat.
I have been in and around machine work for over 35 years and can tell you first hand that ANYONE can and will have a problem if they make or build enough stuff. It is what you do after the problem that tells the tell.
I have been very happy with my IC chokes but if I ever have any trouble with one, I feel sure IC would make it right.
I'm a HUGE fan of IC chokes and Mike & Stuart have grown to be buddies of mine. I hate to see them have a few problems with such a great choke. I feel certain they will get it fixed. Thank you Shawn for such an honest post...I personally REALLY appreciate it and I know I C does as well :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright:

You got that right. Stuart and Mike are stand-up guys in my book. They are hunters who like to shoot. They like to play and see what can be made better. I admit that I myself don't like seeing these split choke problems, but it can happen to the best of them. They will make it through this, and make chokes even better in the future. I like all of my Indian Creek chokes. All shoot great. And they stand behind what they make 100% and don't give you all that mumbo jumbo like some other chokes makers will when you encounter a problem or you aren't satisfied. All you have to do is talk to them either on the phone or via email. They treat you like gold.
Fixing the problem , if any,and making it right is perhaps the next statement below make it the best possible using quality materials
at Indian Creek. Their committment to excellence will give them repeat business for years to come. Fly away boo birds--Shoo!

:agreed: The next turkey gun I get will have IC in it.
no matter what u make or sale u always get a few lemons
QuoteIt is what you do after the problem that tells the tale.

IC is the best choke company in existance IMO. Sure, there are many different great choke companies, but you will be hard pressed to match the customer service of IC.
The most efficient combos I've ever patterned have come from IC. I even have some loads that are way too efficient using IC chokes.

X3, Ive spoke to Mike and Stuart on the phone countless times, These guys will do whatever it takes until your satisfied, They will talk turkey,patterning as long as you want. There never to busy to talk. Great people!
I just purchased a new IC .665 choke for my SBEII and it looks worlds apart from any of the other chokes I have. I can't wait to test it out on the pattern boards.
