Title: Avian X Crusher Chokes
Post by: Glades on March 16, 2023, 09:16:38 AM
Has anyone tried these chokes?

From their pictures online, they seem to have "burrowed" Sumtoy's internal design and Patternmaster's boat porting.

Wow your right, looks like a 100% ripoff of Sumtoy's chokes. Also, I don't understand why
choke makers design their chokes to work like anti-personnel frag devices with all the exterior styling
cuts on the exposed muzzle part. Seems to me it would work like a grenade if something got
stuck in the muzzle.

At first I thought these were being manufactured by Patternmaster. But I can't imagine a choke with this much machining being sold for $45. I bet they took William's design and Patternmaster design and went offshore for manufacturing.

You are probably right about that. Seems like there is a lot of that going on anymore.
