  1. nothing 'wrong' with 'em, but alot of people swear by extended or ported chokes ... and i think they look good also .... any ideas?

     

     

    Briley Makes the best chokes! Get a Briley extended modified with the Blue tip Before I ruined my barrel Thats all I shot.(Briley Modified)

     

    Ported is worthless loud,(will piss your hunting buddies of!) and ther is no pattern improvement.

  2. mtdeerslayer,

     

    There are indeed a lot of misconceptions about extended and ported chokes. Here's my opinion:

     

    Extended chokes do not necessarily improve patterns over flush chokes. The do look cooler. And they're easier to unthread.

     

    Ported chokes can, at the very best, reduce recoil by about 3%. Its easy to calculate if you look into the accepted recoil formulas out there.

     

    Ported chokes, if the ports are all around the circumference of the choke tube extension, cannot, according to the laws of physics, reduce muzzle rise.

     

    Many people think tight full chokes make your shot string long. Others believe tight chokes actually makes the shot string shorter. Bottom line, it doesn't matter even a little bit.

     

    Slowing down the wad? I have heard this claim before, but I have my doubts as to any truth or benefit to that. The wad is usually completely separated from the shot within about the first 10 feet of the muzzle.

     

    But I agree with GTPSC, it is important to pattern your chokes. But just looking at them tells you nothing. Check into the computer program "Shotgun Insight" by Dr. Andrew Jones. This will tell you what your patterns are doing. And that's the only important thing.

     

    For what its worth...

     

    extended chokes, longer the barrel longer the range while not greatly improving range there is a noticibale difference Ive seen with my briley chokes.

  3. I have been shooting my M2 for going on 2 years now mostly for dove hunting and have never had any problems until yesterday. I went duck hunting and was using 3" #2 Hevi Metal shells this is gonna be hard to explain but bear with me everytime I shot my middle finger would get slapped by the back of the trigger guard it seems right at the area where the stock meets the reciever and where the bottom of the shim is the 2 edges are sharp, I don't know if because I have the C shim in or if this is normal my buddy was using a SBE2 and I looked at his and his was smooth. Maybe if this makes sense to anyone someone can comment. Thanks.

    something is loose or was loose.
