if it seems like a good idea to have your favorite sxs machined and fit with choke tubes, be careful. even if the barrel walls are heavy enough to safely support the tubes, it seems that more often than not, the gun will no longer shoot both barrels to point aim after the tubes are installed. the only solution seems to be to loosen the barrels about six inches down from the muzzles, then reregulate them and then resolder and then reblue and then pay smith lots of money... your experience and comments?
