Thanks, Ted and everyone else who replied. To answer the questions, I want my Darne back bored to remove the pits and maybe to improve the choke. The other barrel is Full choke which is fine. I'd like to bring the first barrel to Modified, if that's possible. I shoot over a flushing dog, an Irish Water Spaniel, so M & F is preferred as most shots are longer than with a pointing dog. Maybe if take someone who appreciates an odd dog to appreciate an odd shotgun.
I checked out Kirk Merrington's Web site. It looks like he is the man for the job. I suspect that I will rapidly exceed the price I paid for the Darne in having the work done that I want. I also will have to learn to shoot double triggers and a straight (English) stock. I may run my eight boxes of 2&9/16th" shells through it before I do the gunsmithing. Thanks again to all.
John
