Any body try this?
It appears that the Benelli crio and the matching Beretta chokes WILL fit the older mobil choke barrels.
They measure out to be able to accept the shot charge at the start of the newer choke, and the threads and clearance will let them screw right in.
Granted they look a bit ugly, the part that is in front of the threads and fits inside the muzzle on the crio type, now look like an under sized extended choke. Even the extended crio type would work, apparently, but have a short undersized diameter, before going back to approximate barrel diameter for the very end.
Since the threaded part of barrels have no function in the strength part of the choking effect, it should be safe enough.
Sort of a simple way to upgrade the older mobil chokes, and add some barrel length and weight, even if it is not pretty!
As they used to say, 60+ years ago, WWII: "If you got 'em, smoke 'em!"
I wish the Browning Invector and Invector Plus worked this way, it would be more useful to me at the moment! (Yeah, I know, we are talking a different diameter on this one!)
