1. The gun belongs to you. You may burn it in the fireplace if you wish. It is your right I believe.

2. As far as collector value I think original chokes and original forcing cones and original chambers add value to a gun I am considering for purchase.

3. I have old doubles with less than full chokes that taper all the way to the muzzle. I think they are original. I will not change them.

4. After the chokes, forcing cones, and chambers have been messed with I don't hesitate to mess with them some more.

5. I don't have to alter every gun I own to make it an optimum upland game gun. 99% of my hunting is upland.

Best,

Mike
