choke problem

[remington 300]

hi everyone, anyone ever have trouble with the hunter specialty choke tubes?

i picked up a undertaker version for my remington 870 and the choke wouldnt thread/screw in. and yes i got the version for remington, does it matter the vintage of the gun? my 870 is 20+years old or so.

it appears that the thread pitch diameter isnt right the o.d and pitch is good

but tube wont even start,\

any ideas? im going back tonight to discuss it with the retailer and bring my gun to ensure the fit of the next tube.

thanks for any advise,

mike.

May be a defective or mislabeled choke as long as you barrel has the remchoke threads and not one that was done later by a gun smith. We've had good results with that choke in a couple of the guns we use.

Check the model number on the choke. Here are the numbers listed on the HS HSOforum for Remington 12ga guns.

The Undertaker Ported #00692

The Untertaker Standard #00660

The Undertaker High Density Ported #06955

The Undertaker High Density Standard #00655

I'm pretty sure I shoot the 00660 in my Remington 870.

the model # is 006500 .675 i.d. high density, it says right on the choke fits remington.

borch, i was thinking the same thing, maybe defective, the guns has the rem-choke in it, the threads between my factory choke and the HS one

dont mesh real well so im thinking bad thread on the hs one, its going back tonight.

thanks,

mike

FYI, turns out all the hs chokes they had were/had bad threads, they even tried them in a new 11-87 and they wouldnt go in. i ended up getting a remington turkey choke with a .665" bore,going to shoot/pattern it this weekend we"ll see how it shoots.

That's too bad. Must of had a bad batch and all of them ended up in the same store. Weird.
