shotgun choke

[SPACE]

I have a remington 1100 barrel that was a 28 modified it was cut down to 24''. I would like to install screw in chokes any suggestions if this is possible ?

Sure, as long as the bore is not too big and the walls aren't too thin then it doesn't matter if it has been cut back or not. You just have to decide what kind of chokes you want and find a person that installs them. I do the Tru-Chokes, but others are probably set up to do the Rem chokes if that's what you'd like.

You are better off to BUY a new barrel.

Model 1100's are a very common barrel and not hard to find.

You will find that the walls of the barrel are thin and probably too thin to bore and thread for a taper choke tube.

I would not advise it due to the fact that you would not have any way to test it for pressure except to fire it and even then - how many shots are you going to get out of it before it could rupture - causing serious injury.

Contact Mike Orlen. He does a great job and is reasonably priced. If the barrel is of a size that can be tubed you will likely not have a problem. If it's on the thin side it can be still sometimes be tubed using special thin wall tube systems. Barrels for the 1100 are not cheap and though there are many around threading a cut down barrel is likely cheaper than buying a new one..or even a good used one.  As usual SimmonsGunSpecialties can also thread your barrel or at least tell you if it is possible. Briley is another excellent choice. Their tubes are longer but have a more gradual taper to the choke and a longer parallel section. There are other makers and a GOOGLE search should turn up many more choices.

It is true that 1100 barrels are easy to find at a price that may be less than the price of the work you are looking to do plus the price of the chokes you will want to buy

The last price list I found for Mike Orlen was $35 for machining the barrel and his tubes (flush fit) were $17 each. Perhaps $10 to ship it and were at $62 for a barrel with screw in choke tubes.. You can reach Mike at (413)256-1630, or
