You already know that you have a "not common", if not rare, Skeeter. If you open the chokes it will become much less desirable, IMO. From someone who has made that mistake before, and learned from it, I say "No" to your question.
Are you more determined to have what you think you want right now, even though there's a chance you might feel differently down the road, or more concerned with preserving the gun's originality? Ultimately, the choice is yours .............. and the regret, if you eventually feel you acted with poor judgement. As for me, the regret taught me a lesson.
