    Looked around for one a couple years ago and couldn't get any who would choke a shotgun in Ireland.

    Never forget, the end goal is zero firearms of any type.

    S.I. No. 187/1972 - Firearms (Temporary Custody) Order - Firearms seized

    S.I. No. 21/2008 - Firearms (Restricted Firearms and Ammunition) Order 2008 - Firearm types restricted

    Criminal Justice (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2009 - Firearms banned & grandfathered

    S.I. No. 420/2019 - Magazine ban, ammo storage & transport restricted

    Criminal Justice (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2023 - 2023 Firearm Ban (retroactive to 8 years prior)

    Try Fabian Connolly up in Letrim.He did a Rem choke for me ,when no one else would .If not him try Ardee sports and their gunsmith.

    converting it from fixed to multi, no threads in the barrel, so need it threaded to take chokes.

    Single barrel gun? Easier solution.Get a C lect choke system,[Mossberg used to do these]and have a gunsmith braze/silver solder it on the end. You have all the choke settings with you there and then and all it takes is a twist to go from Full to Cylinder,so no need of tools or carrying choke tubes around. Downside, not the most IMO astheticlly pleasing solution.

    Try get it too one of the dealers in the north and they will send it too teague.

    Tommy beatty or tannyoky

    No one in Ireland does barrell threading. What gun is it? By the time its sent over, threaded, chokes are bought and returned it would be a fair whack. 300 pounds plus
