Gunsmith Who Can Thread Barrel

Help Support Muzzleloading Forum:
With the tooling available from Brownell's most gunsmiths can fit choke tubes, not a difficult job at all. You may want to search out a smith that specializes in shotguns though.
Of the several gunsmiths Ive spoke with they dont do choke tubes, and if the do its only for 12ga. Thats why I wanted to post on here
You may want to shoot your gun first. There are techniques loading a muzzleloader that can change the shot pattern.
Another option is to consider having the bore jug choked. Doesn’t change the appearance at the muzzle, yet you will have bore you can easily load shot and roundballs in. Maybe contact Dan at Caywood Gunmakers and get an opinion from someone who has added chokes to many muzzleloaders.

ThompsonNC,
Call Ken! He made my 48", 62 cal smoothbore barrel. Don't know for sure if he can do what you want, but he is a super nice person to do business with.
