dtberkley; and whoever else is interested.
The chokes I got were for my Browning Sporting Clays Edition and my Franchi Veloce. I got the extended sporting clays stainles steel versions. They fit very nicely, look good. Excellent job of knerling, well machined threads and when I checked the fit in the barrel with an inspection pick and my telescoping ***** set, all was just right. The Chokes for the Browning are of the Invector plus configuration and the ones for the Franchi are of the newer Beretta/Benelli configuration. I had a nice informative conversation with Geo. before I ordered them and since I do have a retail business I jumped through the hoops and became a "dealer" for Trulock choke tubes! Every little bit helps. They have a very good price even at retail if you buy 5 tubes. Seems like if you buy 4 you get 5 for the same money. NOT so at dealer price though! Shipping is reasonable, not an inflated shipping charge. There are, and I am assuming here, laser etched identification marks on the outside/knurled portion of the tubes. No identifying nicks on them. They have etched on the body of the tube the designation, ie. Skeet II as well as the actual dimension in .001" of the constriction, rather the inside dia. of the tube. ie. .735. Yes, they look good. Yes, they work well, and yes, I will buy them again when I need more tubes. They do not have the colored rings arround the ends for indication, just the fairly large easy to read letters. Not ugly mind you, just enough so you know imediatly which tube it is. Go to the web site and look arround, it shows very well what they are and what they look like.

Hmmm, seems I have been misspelling Trulock haven't I! I just looked at the home page of thier site and it shows very clearly what I have been describing. Even get a team Trulock hat with orders over $100. Wonder what happened to MY hat? :roll:
