I have an old kmart O/U that i would love to convert to accept remington choke tubes.  Possible?  gunsmith recommendation? cost estimate?

Barrel thickness is key.

I would measure both barrels all around to get your gun's minimum wall thickness and call Briley's customer service - who will be able to tell you what a recommended minimum wall thickness should be.

Thee are "normal" choke tubes, and nowadays "thinwall" choke tubes for special applications - but I wouldn't trust just "any" gunsmith with the install.

I don't know that I'd spend the $$ on a K-Martian special - but I'd for sure have Briley do any of my shotguns, because Briley is THE  gold standard.
