I live in Johannesburg, South Africa and this is my first visit to the Shotgun Forum.
I purchased a Remington 870 Wingmaster, circa 1976 in absolute mint condition from a friend.
The 870 sports a 28" vented rib smooth bore barrel no tube chokes.
I phoned the agent for Remington here in SA and enquired weather they could machine the bbl to accept remington chokes.
I was told the following:
No tooling exists in this country, they would have to import it at a cost of +/-
$285.72 which would be for my account.
Or I could purchase a replacement bbl at a cost of (get this) +/- $400.00
Where can I purchase the tooling and is this a job that I can do myself.
Regards Jacques.
