What make is that rifled choke tube? I'd be interested in one like that but I have not seen one that long except on Taofledermaus. The old Browning rifled choke tubes were about 5" long IIRC.

This is a Hastings rifled choke tube.Originally Posted by longbow
Thanks for that but it looks like they may not be available anymore. I went to the site and no sign of extended rifled choke tubes so I googled "Hastings Rifled Choke Tube" and it takes me here:
https://www.hastingsdistribution.com...duct_list&c=30
Which is what you have but I cannot find it on the site and searching with "HASTINGS EXTENDED RIFLED CHOKE TUBES - 12GA" on the site finds nothing.
I'll try contacting them.
Thanks,

I bought my rifled choke tube from Hastings last year, and the lady I bought it from said that once they were all sold, they won't carry them anymore.
If you know of anyone that shoots a Hastings shotgun barrel, I would probably part with this one and look for a rifled barrel.
I did however use this rifled tube last year and shot a deer at 125 yards with one of my Diablo Slug loads, and it hammered the deer I shot with it.
I have a Hastings Rifled Barrel for my A5. On Ebay they go for $500+

Look what I ran into while looking for something else:

Scroll down almost to the bottom and Ranch Dog has a post about Hammerhead slugs and smoothbore where he is getting excellent accuracy.
I guess that answers that question!

I replied to that thread!
How’s ranch dog doing, anyway???

I haven't been in contact with Ranch Dog since about 2019 I think when he posted his Lee slug success in smoothbore here:
https://castboolits.gunloads.com/sho...-Tail-Feathers
I got hold of him on the Lee Loader forum afterwards and we PM'd a couple of times.
Apparently the Lee Loader forum was not running for a time but is back now. Not sure for how long or the reasons.
That's all I've got.
