Anyone had Trulock choke system installed in a Belgium browning barrel?
How did the chokes pattern?

I've mainly stck with briley. I've never heard anything derogatory about true lock. I'm sure their quality is fine.

I haven't had them installed in a Belgium Browning but have in a handful of other barrels. IMO they are as good or better then most others in the market. Tough to beat off the shelf offerings in every constriction or configuration you could want which helps when dialing in a load/barrel/pattern combo. I'm all in on the theory of a parallel section after constriction and their extended tubes have this in spades. Customer service (family owned) is outstanding.

Reasonably certain Trulock does not install tubes in guns.

So, once again, I'm getting ready to send another few barrels to Colonial to have their True Size threads installed. True-Size and Tru-Choke threads are the same so the tubes interchange. Dan at Colonial is a pleasure to do business with. They've rescued a couple botched tube installs from other smith's for me so I can't foresee ever spending my time or money anywhere else with regards to tube installation.

As long as there is enough metal in the muzzle to install tubes I can't imagine how you'll be disappointed with them.

Best of luck with it....

True lock runs a little loose compared to Briley but George is good to deal with and has put alot into 16 gauge.. he made his tubes on the .670 of the remington barrels but he makes a great tube!
