For me, even if I 'could' get more use out it with choke tubes installed, would I. If I thought a set of solid rib guns were something to have, maybe line it up with the others, and move it down the road when an unmessed with example turns up. As a user, I couldn't see myself wanting a skeet tube in it, I'd maybe consider opening up to a fixed modified. Then again, it may not pattern full choke anymore.
