Threading a fixed choke Auto 5 for screw in chokes

I picked up a steal last night on a 76 Browning Auto 5 Magnum with 30" fixed full choke barrel. I was wanting to send it somewhere to have the barrel opened up to accept screw in Invector chokes. Has anyone here had any experience with this? I bought this thing to drag along on a few hunts since its in great shape and has synthetic stocks. I figured $400 wasn't a bad price for a great condition Jap Auto 5 with synthetic stocks, wood stocks, and 200 high brass #6's. I just need to open that barrel up some. You guys know of anywhere that I can get that done?
I've always been a huge Benelli fan. But in the last 2 weeks I've run up on great deals and bought the Jap Magnum Auto 5 30" full vr barrel I mentioned and a 1957 Belgium Light Twelve with 28" mod. vr barrel. i have fell in love with these guns. I can see already that the Belgium is going to be my dove killer. I can also tell my SBEII and my M2 will be left behind on some duck hunts to take that Jap Auto 5 along with me.

Send the barrel here
On a gun like that I wouldn't trust billy bob the gunsmith to cut threads into the barrel.
Another option since you don't have much tied up is buying a separate barrel with tubes already installed.

Appreciate it man. Someone also told me that Carlson's does it too. I will check into both places. I looked into barrels for it and DAMN they want more for a barrel than I have in the gun total

Might be cheaper to buy a spare barrel with removable chokes. The older barrels are not going to be safe for steel...

Briley is the place to send it.

Jap barrel is safe for steel as per Browning web site. Full choke not best choice imho. Get rethreaded and you should be good. I hear good things about Briley.

Carlson is fine as well but Briley gets my business. They are first class. They have become successful doing one thing. Choke tubes!!
Kinda like Canes chicken fingers.

It cost as much for one barrel as I paid for the whole gun but I can't find a full choke 16 ga barrel for a 1100 Rem. I will be sending that barrel off.

Another sweet shotgun right there! I traded around for a Rem. 1100 LT20 complete with a full choke barrel and a Mod. choked barrel. I got it for my son who's suppose to be born Nov. 5th. They're fine shotguns
ETA: Thanks for all the help guys. I will get in touch with Briley tomorrow

Send the barrel to Briley. We have sent a couple. They do great work.
