What is a Thin-Wall Choke?

Thin-wall shotgun chokes are specialized interchangeable chokes designed to fit into shotgun barrels with thinner-than-standard wall thickness. These chokes are typically made from high-quality materials like aerospace-grade high-tensile stainless steel and are manufactured using advanced CNC machinery.

Key features of thin-wall chokes include:

  • Compatibility: They fit shotguns with barrels too thin for standard chokes1.
  • Lightweight and compact: Their streamlined design adds minimal bulk or weight to the shotgun1.
  • Interchangeability: Shooters can easily switch between different constrictions to achieve various shot patterns.
  • Performance: They control the spread and pattern of the shot, allowing for adjustments based on shooting conditions.
  • Thin-wall chokes are popular among shotgun enthusiasts for their flexibility and adaptability1. However, it’s important to note that some thin-wall chokes may have limitations:
  • Some models are rated for lead shot only and should not be used with buckshot or slugs.
  • Proper fit is crucial, so it’s essential to check manufacturer specifications before purchasing.

When choosing a thin-wall choke, consider factors such as shooting distance, target size, and ammunition type to select the appropriate constriction for your needs.
