    Sir, Can you tell the internal measurement of a full choke tube and the extra full choke. Please.. so i can make up my choice of purchasing it.



  4. E James on October 28, 2021 at 5:29 pm

    Thanks!

    Can you shoot rifled deer slugs out of a full choke? Or will it ruin it?



  7. slowpoke96z28 on October 28, 2021 at 5:38 pm

    What’s the point of a cylinder choke? Seems like the barrel alone is fine.



  8. Tim Hatchett on October 28, 2021 at 5:38 pm

    Thanks for yawls good information And the hard parts to find,I’ve fixed Manny old guns from you all.
    I’m building a R 10 to change it to A 6.5 Creedmoor I’m going to have a complete upper where I can change it but just 2 take down pins. It’s a good gun armaLite 308 Heavy barrel stainless steel. But I want to try the 6.5 I may be having to call y’all but I’m gonna build it from Brownells !!!

  15. T. L. on October 28, 2021 at 5:43 pm

    Hello , I like your style of explaining all topics , Thank you



  16. Kanoshe on October 28, 2021 at 5:49 pm

    alright, this has been the quick intro can i get the long intro?



  17. shakyzeg on October 28, 2021 at 5:49 pm

    Hopefully you will see this at some point. Can you do a video to explain choke tube considerations for Foster Slugs?

    Info such as, rifling, tube size, things to avoid, and effect on the projectile.

    Does a full choke decrease ballistics? Does a rifled cylinder choke actually help with aim?

    Just some ideas to share. I hope someone sees this.

  25. Aaron on October 28, 2021 at 5:56 pm

  26. Jacob Rininger on October 28, 2021 at 5:58 pm

  28. Warrior of Light on October 28, 2021 at 5:59 pm

    my shotgun is kind of old and don’t have threads in the top of the barrel I’m guessing mine can’t use a choke?



  29. Fox Squirrel on October 28, 2021 at 5:59 pm

    I feel american watching these videos. 👍🇺🇸



  30. Ems 1 on October 28, 2021 at 5:59 pm

    Do I have to use a bore choke tube in order to shoot slugs or buckshot?



  31. Eli on October 28, 2021 at 5:59 pm

  32. Daniel Smith on October 28, 2021 at 6:00 pm

    Thanks , straight to the point



  33. CrappieHook King on October 28, 2021 at 6:04 pm

    Great video, but what about the notches?



  34. Celtic Dude on October 28, 2021 at 6:05 pm

    MAGA 2020 !



  35. cory dorsey on October 28, 2021 at 6:08 pm

    So if you’re using your shotgun for home defense. What choke do you suggest



  36. John Phelps on October 28, 2021 at 6:11 pm

    I shoot 12ga with an extra full choke for skeet and it’s still too easy for me. I’m buying a turkey choke and see if it’s any more challenging.

  38. Jay Gilmore on October 28, 2021 at 6:13 pm

    Can I put the Carlson choke in my JTS ak12



  39. T. L. on October 28, 2021 at 6:13 pm

    I buy a versa max synthetic Remington and I got six chokes with her, from number 2 to number six, but what happened was that the number six, which has six slits, is the narrowest, while the number two on it is the widest diameter in scattering of beads , please if you can answer , is that normal or no ??? Thank you



  40. Mister Grendel on October 28, 2021 at 6:15 pm

    My Benelli manual doesn’t address the choke tubes that come with the gun at all. 🤔



  41. MrRidingman on October 28, 2021 at 6:16 pm

    In most choke videos they often fail to mention not to use bigger shot loads than #2 or #4 depending on the constriction of the choke. Some chokes you can’t use steel shots. Nice video but lacking key information.



  42. sidney white on October 28, 2021 at 6:18 pm

    I have a HR Pardner 20 ga and want to know what choke to order. I ordered a Remington and it is too long, mine is about an inch long, need imp cyl.



  43. mark krabbenbos on October 28, 2021 at 6:27 pm

    Hi I just bought a 12 gauge and it says the choke is a ( slug ) choke I’ve tried to google what EXACTLY is a slug choke but I can’t get the answer I’m looking for…. can you please explain to me what a slug choke is and best shells to use for home defense?? Or can I just basically shoot anything
