Title: Thin wall chokes
Post by: CntrlPA on May 31, 2012, 06:44:50 PM
I'm looking at getting a barrel cut down but it will be thin wall chokes only due to the thickness of the barrel. Are there any thin wall chokes on the market that allow you to shoot 3" shells? Or are there any thin wall turkey chokes? From what I've read, Thin wall Tru chokes recommend using only 2 3/4" shells.

I have them in a few guns but only shoot 2 3/4" shells in them. Call Briley and see what they say, they are the ones that invented thin wall chokes.

Briley has a thin wall but would not use it.  I have did them in Clay guns and dont like them.    Now the Tru-Choke is fine with about any shell you want to shoot.   We have shot Steel and TSS out of them.  We have even shot 00 buckshot.   :anim_25:

Even though they recommend only 2 3/4"? Are you guys using the extra full Tru choke for turkey?

We build them from 638 to 710.    Got a few new guns come with the try-choke in them new.
We run them in 650 to 660 with turkey loads.  Now I can't can't say for other companies but the ones we build are fine to use.  I know folks shoot the kick's also.
