They do make them without the skinny slotted ports!!I'm sure you couldn't crack one of those with any shot size!! ;D


They use to make the "Platinum Pro Elite"  Which was the same choke just not ported....I liked it personally.   Don't know why they quit making it.

You think they would have kept it around for the Feds

Stuart told me about 9 months ago he could make me one unported, just pull it off the line before the slots were machined.  But he advised me against it because he said the slots really do make a difference in the pattern by stopping the rotation of the wad before it exited the choke.

Looks to me like IC needs to have a recall on this older tube before someone gets hurt.

+1 on this one.  I have 2 of the IC chokes - one on my 870 super mag and one on my son's 870 20 gauge.  Have they identified a "Lot" by serial #, and do they have individual serial #s on them?

Mine says SS stamped in the choke right before the diameter. Although if these were just switched to it in Jan there is really no telling if it is any better. Am i a tad nervous sure but ALL products have some defects in them. adding to that the amount of IC users on here you are bound to find some and in not all cases it is the actual chokes fault fully as some can be untold user error.  I will keep shooting mine and if see any sign of issues i will just call them and see whats going on and what my options are.

if the groves are horizontal and not vertical that is how they come...its what slowes the wad down.

Its Flydown with the picture some in the know claim they WERE made by IC and some in the know Claim they WERE NOT made by IC..

All I know is if somebody cloned something in looks as close as these two, their would be a lawsuit
