I just picked up a Winchester 23 in 121 gauge with screw in chokes. The tubes with it are the extended type outside the muzzle and not my preference. Where can I find flush mount choke tubes to fit it?

Would it be easier to have someone cut the tubes you have to make them into flush mounts? Seems like it would be a simple job to cut and notch for a spanner wrench. But then, I'm not a machinist - not even on the internet.

Briley or TruLock should have them.

I'm not sure all M23 came with factory choke tubes, just Googling around now I have found some evidence that some had fixed chokes.
I think the first thing you need to do is determine whether or not yours came set up for tubes from the factory, if so then you can easily source replacements.
However, your guns tubes, being extended tubes, may have been aftermarket tubes. If so you will need to determine what thread was used for the aftermarket tubes and go from there to find out what flush mount tubes might work.
My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income.

That is correct RR. I have a 23 in 20 gauge that has fixed chokes. There is no doubt that the extended ones I have are aftermarket but I can't yet find a site with clearly definable flush mounts that fit it. I see the early Winchokes with the knurled ring that still fits outside the muzzle but have yet to locate flush mounts. Many thanks for the suggestions.

Thanks Ed. Based upon where I obtained it I don't think that is the case though. If from a gun show or someone on the street or even online I might not have that same level of confidence!!
