adding choke tubes to old citori barrel

[D-Rock425]

So I have my dads older Browning citori that has a fixed choke barrel mod and full how hard is it to thread them for choke tubes and where's a good place to get it done?

I wouldn't put a classic Browning under the knife but:

Both brileys and Carlson have done a bunch of them, but I would have to ask....what are you doing with the gun that requires the tubes?

[D-Rock425]

Been shooting a lot of sporting clays.  Would be nice to have some more open patterns for the close shots.  Also thought about buying a barrel with choke tubes and keep the stock one as is.  Not sure if that's even an option

Citori barrels have to fitted by a gunsmith, pretty pricey.  A less intrusive and cheaper option would be to have the full barrel opened up to IC, and leave the Mod as is. 

IMHO no interchangeable choke patterns as well as a good fixed choke gun.

A MOD and I/C will cover 98% of what you'd ever need on the sporting clays course.

Maybe I just need to buy a new gun.

If you can find a set of citori barrels getting them fitted wont be all that expensive you'd be looking at a couple hours for the smith to fit them

As far as gettin tubes done I'd use briley the make a great tube and have every choke and fashion you could think of or ever need

mike orlen is the guy your looking for. his turn around time is great and his prices can't be beat at $55 a barrel for choke tubes

I've had Mike Orlen rechoke a couple of very good guns and he does great work and turn around time is the best in the business.

How much older? Belgian or japaneese?If it's belgian I'd leave it alone,I've got a Superposed 1962 silver pigeon that sports 30 inch full chokers top and bottom.I'm leaving it alone,I use that one at the bus stop at Sunneydell.
