Title: ? about SUMTOY choke
Post by: huntmaster80 on June 29, 2013, 06:57:14 PM
just got my new sumtoy and I have a question.  When I screw it into my M2 barrel, there is a small gap between the barrel and the part of the choke that is the same outside diameter as the barrel.  Is that ok or do I need to call Sumtoy and have them check it out?  here is a pic of what I am talking about. The choke screws into the barrel nice and the threads seem to be good that is why I am asking.  Thanks for the help!!!!

Its fairly common on extended chokes to have a slight gap like the one your describing.This is so that the choke seats fully down inside the barrel.If you think their may be an issue give William a call and ask him about it.He is a great guy and i'm sure he will be able to answer your question.Sumtoy makes a great choke,i love mine!

None of the ones i own or have handled have a gap. Id call William and at least ask. It may not be a big deal.

I agree with the others that you should call William. My choke that he made for me does not have a gap neither. I am sure he will fix the problem for ya.

The skirt is probably just a hair long, call William he will do you right.

You gentlemen are correct,i checked my sumtoy and it does not have a gap,but a few of my other xtended chokes from other manufacturers have a very slight gap.I should have looked at the picture a little closer,time for me to get a pair of stronger glasses!
