Hey Folks,
A customer of mine brought me a muzzle brake(basically a door breaching brake) for a Remington 1100/870. It attaches via an extended Improved Cylinder choke tube, with threads on the end. So, layout is this: choke tube screws into barrel, threads stick out of barrel, muzzle brake screws onto choke tube. Somehow the last couple of threads snapped off inside the barrel, and the choke tube is basically ruined. I'm pretty sure I can replicate the choke tube and make my own (I've had zero luck in finding a replacement, either the company that made it is defunct, or this may have been a custom job) but what I'm not sure on is what specific type of material most companies use to make choke tubes out of? I'm assuming some sort of stainless steel, but probably not a 300 series that isn't magnetic. Does anybody have any experiences making a choke tube? If so, what did you make yours out of? Is there any specific material that is a definite "No No" when making a choke tube? Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!
