    "Best" generation choke for Beretta 1301

    So, I'm thinking about having my 1301 LE modified to accept chokes. I have reached out to several smiths to get an idea of price. I'm wondering which choke generation I should go with. Some can only do the old Mobil chokes. Should I try to go with the newer Optima HP to keep it current? Use, honestly, is just fooling around with patterns at the range and sitting in the corner for home defense.

    How much is that going to cost, rather than buying a current 1301 with chokes?

    There is a reason why most tactical shotguns are cylinder bore...

    Could you let me know who can do the "old Mobil choke" threading? That may come in handy from time to time.

    I called Briley and they can do Mobil and Optima HP.
    Also, www.colonialchokeandtool.com told me they can do Mobil.

    I’ve used Briley on a couple choke tube projects, one an old A.H. Fox SXS with extremely thin walls, a project with moderately high disaster factor. They delivered, I was satisfied.

    I called Briley and they think the barrel wall is too thin for the Optima HP and I will need to use the Mobil pattern. Those that have the gen 2 1301 with removable chokes, what pattern are they?
