Shotgun chokes

[Adam Helmer]

Gil,

How much does your smith charge to OPEN up shotgun chokes? How long do you have to wait for the job to be completed?

Most of my guns are older ones that came with fixed chokes. I plan on leaving them that way. I do like the ability to change out the tubes on my newer guns that have them. However, like someone else said, I usually use the modified choke tubes most of the time. I do, however, switch over to special choke in my turkey gun during spring gobbler season. As to the difference between fixed and screw-chokes, I personally have not noticed a lot of difference.
