Buy recommendations Screw in chokes for F. Sarasqueta O/U 12GA

Hey folks. Waiting on my PAL and window shopping ahead of time. How hard is it to find the screw-in chokes for this shotgun that I found on InterSurplus? Should I avoid screw-ins for my first unit?

Thanks.

As the title indicates, intersurplus is mostly international, imported surplus.

There likely wont be much domestic support for most of their products other than random shops who have surplus parts.

Luckily, many shotguns share similar choke types so that one may be compatible with other models but I dont know for sure.

Intersurplus is listing one for $100 more that comes with full and modified chokes. I'd probably go with that as getting a set of chokes imported will probably cost at least that or more.

Thanks. I think I've moved on to a Sabatti O/U for under $500. Great advice nonetheless, thanks.

On intersurplus, they have a classic doubles - made by FAIR in Italy with screw in chokes. For fixed chokes get a miroku. They are the Japanese factory that makes browning shotguns. Both of these can still get spare parts. Most of the guns on intersurplus are from europe and were used for hunting so they don't have large number of shells through them.

I would suggest going with a used Remington 1100 or even an A300 ultima over one of those cheap surplus O/Us, you have no clue what sort of condition the internals are in.
