Sorry about the OT subject, but you guys would know about this. There's a 16 gauge M12 for not much money at a local gunshop with a Poly Choke installed along with a ventilated rib with Poly Choke inscribed on it. I did not know Poly Choke did ribs, anyway, how were these ribs attached to the barrel? I assume they were soldered or epoxied in place but it's very hard to tell. I'm thinking about removing the rib and Poly Choke and having choke tubes put in since the barrel does not seem to have been been cut back. The gun is in very good shape. I probably should just buy and use it as is, but the rib and Poly Choke are so fugly on this otherwise handsome gun it hurts my eyes.
