Thanks for the info again Greg. I agree that the fixed chokes shouldn't be a problem since this will primarily be a duck/goose killer. However, it is a gift and my father really wants the interchangable chokes, probably, as you suggested, to amaze his friends at the dove field sometime.

Do you know what it runs to get a fixed choke gun converted to interchangable? Also, I have absolutely no experience in buying used guns. I'm not a collector. I have a grand total of three shotguns, all purchased new. I will almost assuredly be purchasing the gun sight unseen from a auction website. Is there any way for me to determine the quality of a gun (specifically the two linked above) or should I just pick the pretty one and roll the dice?
