i have two choke tubes new in package from stoeger but i dont know what shotgun they are for all the package says is 12ga modified and 12ga improved cylinder
any help would greatly be appreciated i emailed stoeger but to no surprise i got no response from them thanks |

Are the threads at the rear of the tubes, or near the muzzle end? Stoegers typically use the "Benelli/Beretta" style choke tubes, which have the threads nearer the muzzle end of the tube. If the threads are at the muzzle end, it will fit all Stoegers, and most Benellis, and most Berettas.
If not that one, got a good close-up picture? I've got 6 differant type choke tubes, and can probably determine what you got by comparing it to mine. I've got Beretta/Benelli/Stoeger, Remchoke, Hastings Tru-Choke, Mossberg Accu / Winchester / Browning Invector, Mossberg AccuMag, and Browning Invector Plus. The only style I'm aware of that I don't have is a Benelli Crio. |

Got the e-mail with the picture. I was able to "zoom" on it and count the threads, but I cannot determine overall length from just the picture... but it is a very short one. Two things differentiate choke tube types - thread spacing and overall length. Yours has 18 threads that I can count.
Below is a list of the thread count and OAL of differant types that I have (all are factory "flush fit" tubes, not aftermarket replacements - OAL was precisely measured with a dial caliper, threads were counted manually under a magnifier, I don't have a thread-per-inch "guage" for choke tubes). Thread count can vary by one or two, depending on the position it's in when you're holding it for the count, when you count them manually under magnification TruChoke/Hastings - 32 threads, OAL 1.695" Mossberg/Winchester/Browning Invector - 20, 1.485 " Mossberg 835/935 AccuMag - 22, 2.85" Browning Invector Plus - 20, 2.38" RemChoke - 20, 2.035" We can rule out the Beretta/Benelli because they're threaded towards the front, yours it at the rear, and Benelli type are much longer... so they're not in my above list. Because of the short length of what you've got there, I'm guessing they're the Mossberg/Winchester/Browning-Invector type. Thread count is close, and the OAL looks right in the picture (only Tru-Choke & Mossberg are under 2", but Tru-Choke has much "finer" threads). If you don't have a dial caliper, a Mossberg type will look like 1.5" on a ruler, TruChoke will be closer to, but under, 1.75". If you have access to a Mossberg AccuChoke marked barrel, or a Winchester (NOT a SuperX series, which use Invector Plus), or an older Browning Invector (the original Invector, not Invector Plus) pull out the tube that's in there and compare it to yours. If they look the same, give it a try.... but do NOT force it if it doesn't go in very easily. If it goes in easily, see if it fits flush, AT BOTH ENDS! Inside fit is important, you don't want ANY gaps between tube & barrel... outside, toward muzzle, not so much. You just don't want it sticking out past barrel's end where it could get damaged easily. |

That's what replacements cost at places like Mills Fleet Farm. |
