Gents,

I have a beautiful old WC Scott hammer gun with spectacular damascus barrels (2-sets, actually). Both barrels have lots of wall thickness and the bores are perfect. The set of 30" barrels are choked Mod and Full and I would probably use the gun a lot more if they were opened to IC and Light Mod or Mod. Assuming that there is no mechanical reason not to open them is there a practical reason not to? The gun dates to the early 1890's and is not a Premier, but probably the model below. What makes this gun particularily unique is the second set of barrels which are 40" (choked full and full).

Thoughts?
