OK, just got home from putting another four boxes of those wimp loads thru it. (Lordy, this is one
sweet shooter!
)
Removal of the chokes was easier, but still not as I'd hoped. You certainly can't over tighten them only because the friction fit tool just won't bite that much. Consequently, it slips far too easily when trying to turn 'em out. I still had to seat the choke wrench with a pretty solid hammer tap (not as hard as the first time though), and that makes me uncomfortable.
I'm not ready to cut notches (yet), but I won't rule it out either.
