Have a customer who would like to remove the Cutts Compensator from his Browning A-5 and replace it with screw in chokes. How does this unit attach? I cannot seem to see how they were attached to the barrel. I have some very good sources for machining and am thinking I may have to cut off the end of the barrel and fit it with an extension. Comments PLEASE!!!!!
Most of the Cutts Compensators style devices that I put on (Poly Chokes, we called them poly pukes) were either soft soldered on or epoxied on. You will have to use heat (propane torch) to remove it. You need to check with Brownells or some of the after market companies that provide chokes and installation tools. Best, Gene

Gene is correct for most choke devises, BUT Gene is MUCH younger than me and has never installed a Cutts. If your Cutts was correctly installed the end of the barrel was turned down slightly and the adapter was SILVER BRAZED ON. My advice: Cut the Cutts off right at the joint and re-crown the barrel
