Old school choke

Postby Flightstopper » Thu Jul 12, 2012 4:35 pm

Was at my grandpas today and pulled out his old wingmaster 16 gauge. It has a crazy choke tube set up on it with some kind of muzzle brake. I can't remember the name of it now for the life of me and it's driving me crazy. Anybody recognize?

I was at a local gun shop a few weekends ago and it had an adjustable choke on it. You twisted it though all 3 main choke styles.

Very similar to the Cutts Compensator, different cuts though. The choke you twist to open is a poly-choke.

This one has separate screw in chokes. Also between the end of the barrel and where the choke begins there is at least a half inch gap. Might be hard to tell from the picture

My wife's Wingmaster has a Poly-choke. It actually works pretty decent.

I have only seen a couple, not as polished as the Cutts Compensator. Very cool though.

I've always used carlsons but the new xtrema2 is still going with factory. Might hit you up for some even though beretta choke are good from what I hear. I just prefer extended.

I've got an old Mossberg 16 gauge bolt action that has mossbergs "C"-lect choke. Basically their version of of a poly choke. I'm going to buy some hevi shot and take it out once for duck season, just to say I did it.

Do you get a KS license each year?

Joe and Tom have been trying to talk me into getting the all season one, but I only hunted twice last season so I just got the 48 hour pass both times. I may still get the all season one. I think it was like 80 bucks. Definitely cheaper in the long run if I hunt more than 2 or 3 times.

If you do we can have a 16 ga. hunt, I will already have some ammo. Have the perfect little pond for it.

I use a HeviShot mid-range tube for hunting the river, patterns really well. The factory invector plus wasn't bad, but the HeviShot tube gives me fewer strays and a little tighter pattern especially from 20-40 yards.
