Choke Instillation?

Agree on Mike Orlen. He opened the chokes on my SKB 500. Great work and quick turnaround. If you join shotgunworld.com, you get a discount on services as well. He is on the gunsmithing forum on that website.
 
I can personally vouch for Mike Orlen and Briley's. If Mike takes it on, he will do an excellent job, but he doesn't have all the tooling Briley does. If it can be done, they can likely do it.
 
Colonial also does choke tube installs, however I have not seen any pros or cons on their work.

I was considering them because one of my Ithaca 16ga needs chokes and I already have a full set as Ithaca used the type that colonial produces back in the 70's, 80's and maybe 90's. The 2 16ga barrels that I bought (King Ferry Ithaca barrels) came with tubes that said Colonial on them.

Anyone have experience, good or bad, with Colonial that they would care to share ?
 
I have some that Mike Orlen installed in a 20 and I think one other one. They work just like the rest of them. The differences between choke tube brands are HIGHLY overrated in my opinion. Marketing hype. What some people will pay for some of them amazes me. I have shot thousands of test patterns, and the difference between the constriction and the bore is the main thing by a mile.
 
Virginian You are so wrong

My helical twist, wad retarding, criongentically re-structured, titanium-composite-uranium lined choke tube from givemeallyourmoney.com is far superior to anything that's on the market today. :D
 
Hmmmmm. How does that uranium do with tungsten? If you drop it can you come back at night and find it by the glow? :eek: That might be valuable.
 
I have been extremely pleased with the choke tube installation Mike Orlen did on my Franchi AL48 in 20 guage. He was reasonable and had a very quick turnaround time on the barrel.
