I bought a .665 extended choke and installed in my escort. The choke is seated in the barrel but there is a 1/16" gap between the end of barrel and start of the thicker choke extension. When I compare factory chokes to the aftermarket one, the factory one is shorter from threads to choke end. Any concerns? I didn't know if the 1/16" of the thinner portion that isn't supported by the barrel would be a weak spot. I don't recall an extended choke having a gap like this one. Likely the gun...
Is it an Indian Creek whole? They state on box there may be a gap.
Yeah, if it's an Indian Creek I have a gap on mine as well. Doesn't affect seating and still shoots perfectly fine.

Carlsons. I remembered I had a set on their extended chokes in a franchi o/u. They fit flush in the O/U but have a gap in the escort also. I can jus see a smidge of thread sticking out.
I sent Carlson's some photos. All good. my factory gun chokes are just a tad shorter he said, but I'm good to go and no issues. Now I just need to do some testing to make sure it isn't too tight.
