Anyone any experience of where to get this done? Have a Remington 1100 barrel and want to get it screw cut for a choke tube....

Thanks

You have a choice of two companies Teague chokes and Briley neither are particularly cheap and with a Remi 1100 you almost certainly be better off finding a multichoke barrel to fit onto your gun.
If you have retrofitted chokes fitted there are very few guns where you will get that money back at resale, of course if your never selling the gun it wont matter.

Why are you looking for a multichoke has to be a real consideration as a change of cartridge can have the same effect and most people can't truly tell the difference been a point of choke in real world shooting

If you go the Teague (and presumably Briley too), you also have to factor in the cost of the propriatary chokes you must use afterwards too. £44 a pop from Teague so if you use a few it soon adds up....

As mentioned you're better off sourcing an existing multichoke barrel.

Just go straight to saddlery and gunroom they do the moderator conversions mainly with out multi choke be cheaper and better.

This is a different type of mod. Needs to be threaded

The issue is Teague and Briley are thin walls and each gun has a bespoke cut thread so you’ll need a bespoke threaded moderator.

You best bet is finding a factory Multichoke barrel if your set on that moderator choice.

I think I am set on this mod. I have a couple of hush power pumps and want to try a semi. The barrel is 24 inch so will be thicker than normal at the muzzle compared to a 28 or 30 inch
