Should have qualified that with "every avenue that wouldn't result in the front of a gun looking like more of a dogs dinner than they already do"saddler wrote:Every avenue?Blackstuff wrote:If its the true 24" version it should already be threaded for chokes.

What about the old skool pre choke tube design of external adjustable choke?
I've got a proprietary Savage one, others were mafe by Lyman/Cutts.
Unit swages/brazes onto open cylinder barrel & adds a few inches to length...plus allows either dial adjustment for different choke or you change the fitted choke using a small tool....
Either option would be an easy job for an RFD (Gunsmith type) to fit in place of the metal conduit that Saddlery & Gunroom added to make the 20" barrel UK legal.
Techincally one could be fitted i suppose but its going to increase the length of the gun, which is far from desirable.The 'shroud'/barrel extension is wider than the bore of the gun and is much thinner so there is not a lot/no material to work with. They (as would I) want a continuous width/profile barrel, rather than the 'trumpet' shape of the current ones. Removing the shroud to put 'something else' on also requires finding a gunsmith/RFD with S5 (ac) authority, and good luck with that!bofor wrote:Did they try Teague chokes ?, if they can`t be done why ?Blackstuff wrote:If its the true 24" version it should already be threaded for chokes.

Not doubting you, just want to know why they were told no.
If it comes to the dealer unchoked then I would have to rethink...new barrel ? 500/ 535 version, or heavens forbid a Supernova
