Need information on having a gunsmith thread a barrel for thin walled chokes.

[Badhabit]

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.

I was thinking Briley

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

Thats why I'm asking for a GS opinion. But good food for thought.

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

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.

ES, thanks for the link to their site. Just opened up a bigger can of worms for my search. I was really eyeing an old SKB 385 20ga. Now I might look at some Win 23's and have one threaded. Thanks.
Ghost, looks like Benchmark's site shows rifle or pistol barrels, but thanks for the input.
