Monday I picked up a Stevens 555 O/U 12 ga from BPS, they never said anything about not shooting steel through it. When I got home I started to wonder so called Savage and they said you need steel rated choke tubes and it has a Winchester thread.
Well good luck finding any, the ONE tube they had at BPS was 1 1/2 inches long the supplied tubes with the 555 are 2 inches long, threads right at the muzzle end.
The question I have is I had wanted to take it to Wrentham Sunday and they have to shoot steel there. What will happen if I put in the IC or Skeet tubes to shoot a couple rounds of steel? Those are fairly open chokes? Savage will say you have to use steel rated tubes as that is the lawyers talking.
I am just wondering what the effect of 50 shots through it might be?
