Just getting ready to post that myself.. smile Its what made me look close.. Interesting gun to me.... I don't know for sure, but I bet I can get it to throw open patterns without doing anything to factory chokes... The thing that made me walk was the possible cost to have the chokes opend up,then adding on cost to raise dent,, I think I would have more in the gun than it is worth... But,, I is old,, and prolly anything I purchase now,, isn't going to be sold to anyone.. smile at least by me.. smile I do shoot a heavy gun better..
