Winchester Mod 42 barrel question
It is good condition BUT it has a old Lyman Choke on the barrel that is missing the Choke tube. I have not had any luck finding any .410 chokes for it. So now the question is----Do I keep on looking for a choke tube or have the Barrel cut, Lyman Choke removed and have it replaced with a Screw-in choke. Anyone have any experience with this or suggestions. Do they make screw in chokes for .410. OR any ideas where I can find a choke tube----I do not care if it is full,mod, or cyl bore as I plan on keeping the Shotgun.. Ronin |

I would assuredly cut it off, because I hate them. But, www.Corsonsbarrels.com has some. Check Barrelexchange too.

42 barrel
Right now your barrel is probably worth $400 to $500. Cut it off and it's worth nothing and your 42 loses at least 50% of its value or more. Shoot it like it is, you have a cylinder choke, perfect for skeet or quail shooting.

Ideally, you'd have an untampered with factory barrel. Second best would be a choke for your compensator. While its a modification, at least it's contemporary. A 410 Lyman tube will be harder to find than a 12, but not impossible.

Corson's barrels apparently has a full and a mod .410 tube.
http://www.corsonsbarrels.com/cuttschokes.htm Not cheap, but worth it to restore a Model 42. rc

Base 42's, especially as old as that START at $1500. The compensator does detract some, but not as much as cutting the barrel
