Weaver Choke

[andrewdl007]

I have a Remington 11-48 20GA that was given to my father by his uncle probably back in the 60s or earlier. it has a Weaver Choke on the end with the actual choke part being removable. i only have one choke tube for it, I think its full. I have two questions, first, where can i get more choke tubes and second, it seems like the bead on the choke may not be quite straight and that its causing the shotgun to shoot right. How is the choke actually attached to the barrel and can it be turned so the gun is more accurate? Thanks.

Your best bet might be ebay.

I doubt they will interchange with Lyman Cutt Comp tubes, but those are still available.

Weaver tubes haven't been made for a way long time.

The choke body probably is attached to the barrel by threading, and then soft soldered in place.

ebay or www.corsonsbarrels.com - scroll down the menu to Chokes and then down to Weaver

They quit making those 50 years ago.

since these chokes haven't been made in a long time, is there something similar that i could replace the weaver choke with. I love the look of the weaver system. I would want something that would look got on a 60 year old 11-48.

The esthetics of the old Polychoke system are debatable, but new Polychokes continue to be offered and installed. It's quite similar to the Weaver in looks. You will lose a bit of barrel length, maybe an inch.

The position of the bead can only affect the POI if you're looking at it instead of the target. Look at the leading edge of the target, or shoot them in the beak, as my father told me.
