Any gunsmith on this site have knowledge of threading fixed choke shotguns for flush mount screw in chokes? I'm looking at the old SKB 100, 200, 280 or the Browning Bss or Beretta Silver Hawk in 20 ga. I know extended choked choke tubes are a no, since there is not enough clearence between barrels. Let me know if you know a gunsmith that will take on threading a sxs. My plan is to shoot steel shot for waterfowl.

True lock might still do it. You will to make sure the barrel material is steel proof.

In CA, lotta folks used Americhoke.com.  Well respected guy.

https://www.americhoke.com/

He lists minimum OD's for his product(s).

I sent a few to Briley.  I had one Garcia era 12g Beretta BL-2 that only Briley could do (didn't meet minimum barrel OD).  They did a Franchi 48-AL 20g and a Beretta Silver Hawk 20g as well.  That was years ago and prices have gone up.
