Title: full choke to imp. cylinder
Post by: Flyfishin22 on November 06, 2015, 01:09:19 PM: Hey I have a old rem. model 31 with a fixed full choke, how would I go about getting it changed down to a improved cylinder? Any suggestions on gunsmiths in the Bellevue area?

I would go find a replacement barrel instead. :twocents:

Full choke is limited in its usefulness. Why use a full choke where you have to wait and let the bird get further out before you shoot?

If he thinks he needs a more open choke, he probably does. :dunno:
