New .410 HK o/u
Not really. Bought some Browning Skeeter chamber inserts for the 12 gauge. With the 24" barrels it is a hoot to shoot the .410. Bottom barrel is a scatter choke.. no threaded choke. Top barrel I installed the Improved Modified. It shoots pretty tight at 25 Yd with 3" no. 8's.

Don't forget your Tutus. All skeeters must wear those. That is according to fellow trap shooters. 0 -

I don't eat skeet.. I shoot doves with a .410. Try it sometime, and see just how good of shooter you are.0 -
Forgive my ignorance here but is that a sleeve to slip in a 12 GA so you can shoot .410 shells in it?[B)] 0 -

Yep, Browning makes them. They sell them in pairs. 2 for $36 bucks plus shipping and you can shoot various gauges. 12-20gauge 12-28 gauge or 12-.410 They do eject also but you have to punch out the empty shell. I am only going to use one in the top barrel of my 12 gauge. Carry the spare to slip in the needed new round.

I have seen tubes by briley but they run the entire length of the barrel. Do these just fit into the chamber? The shot is shot into a 12ga barrel then uses the original chokes of the gun???? 0 -
Just into the chamber and down the bore she goes... I am using an improved modified on the top barrel. It will be a hoot to see Saturday when I drop some doves with the .410 the looks on the other hunters faces. They use " special " big lead loads of 12 gauges. ( and they still miss em " ). My bottom barrel on the HK has a rifling about 12" from the end. It spins the wad in the 12 gauge to give a " spreader" load of shot. At 25 yd. it will cover a 4 X 4 foot piece of plywood. Just imagine aiming at a bird and picturing a piece of plywood flying thru the air. It mades quick work of bird hunting.[:D] 0 -

I have never heard of that. is that something HK did or did you have it done special??? is the choke tube fix or screw in type?
Is there a choke at all?0 -
I havent either, Id like to see the difference in patterns with and without the rifeling. Sounds like a sales gimick. 0 -
I use a 28 ga. I have a couple of 525 Brownings. You can shoot them all day. 0 -
savage was the first to make slip in tubes in the 60's. they were known as 410ers. what makes them unique is that they fit snug from the use of a rubber bushing that conforms to a vast array of ID's of bores.
the pros to them are they are quick inserts which allow you to carry one gun with 3 ga's in your pocket.
the cons are it can get dangerous mixing shells of different ga's in your pocket and you can forget what you have in when you load. also, they are not full length bbls. they just allow the shell to ignite and fire, but the hulls payload must jump from the insert to the existing bore of the gun. though many work fine for their intended use, they do not allow proper burn ratios and pressures to happen. the wad and shot column go thru pressure variations as it passes thru the insert and bore. you get a lot of blow by that can ruin patterns. my company along with purbaugh, kolar, briley, and browning make/made full length tubes. browning use to call them super tubes. they were offered with high end superposed o&u's in the 60's. mine were clydes carry overs, and early kolars were as well. they sported full length tubes. advantage? balance and proper burn durations of the shotshells were achieved. today, with the advent of screw in chokes tubes, full length tubes can sport a vast variety of screw in choking. you cant do that with the little ones. unlike the little ones, full length tubes are FIT and NUMBERED to the gun and are NOT interchangable. in my opinion, the little ones EVERYONE is trying to dip into the market with, is caught up in a fad. nothing beats a gun intended for a specific purpose in the proper ga to do it with. hope this helps.0 -

Factory gun I bought at a gunshow a few years back. I thought the bottom barrel was for rifled slugs. I brought it home and tried some el cheapo Remington slugs. It will shoot them with precision. Then I read the article below.. and patterned the gun. Wow.. this is the best bird gun I have ever seen. It is also murder on clay birds.. These guns are few and far between. I have only seen one other one.
