Several yrs ago, I found a 28" plain barreled Win M42 .410 that had the original full choke. I love the choking for dove and it may get some duty as a pheasant gun. I'll give it a try in a few weeks at pen raised pheasant and chukar.

I have no intent to open up the choke, but I've given some thought to a Roger Eubanks donutpost vent rib and fancy wood. Something keeps tugging on me to leave it as is. Maybe that's Doug, invading my "dream gun" dreams. LOL.... There is some attraction to the vintage Americana of leaving it alone. I could just buy a Japanese Brownchester 42 with a vent rib for chumpchange.
