I was wondering if my Winchester Defender could be internally threaded for a screw in choke.. I noticed in this month's American Rifleman that FN is making one with a screw in choke.

  PROBABLY, IF THE BARREL OUTSIDE DIAMETER (MUZZEL END)IS LARGE ENOUGHT. .845" FOR STANDARD WIN. CHOKES. INSTIDE DIMENSION IS ALSO IMPORTANT.

  Go to your home page and do a search on shotgun chokes. Eventually you will find a gunsmith in Selma Alabama { Johnny's maybe ?? } that I believe can ream and tap your bbl to accept Winchoke tubes. Carlson's can modify the bbl to accept Tru-Choke tubes which are not interchangable with Winchoke.
  
  I am thinking of having my 18.5" 870 bbl set up for tubes. It is right at the limit or under for Winchoke and I have two 1400's and I would like to be able to interchange choke tubes between the three.
  
  Brownell's has a solder on choke tube adapter I am considering also.
  
  Good luck

  mag, I searched and found that my barrel is ok both I.D. and O.D. to get tapped. Now I can get a gunsmith to thread it for the Winchoke. Turkey chokes clear down to .640 I.D.
