Alas, not happening. The stock LOP and chokes are the least of it.

How about DAC, DAH, cast and pitch? And rebalancing the gun when the stock is cut shorter?

And the guys who want thirty inch barrels, twenty-five inch barrels, or something in the middle. Then there are the folks who want a Churchill rib, or a Woodcock rib, or a swamped, concave rib, or some other damn thing. And the people who want extractors rather than ejectors, or an assisted opener. Or the guy who wants a live pigeon gun rather than a light game gun – or the fellow who says a plague on that, I want a medium game gun.
