Despite what you've heard about Mike's work (and he does good work) he doesn't cut chokes like Parker Bros did with an ogee incorporating the beginning and the end of the taper. In fact, I don't know anybody that does.

All I can say after 50+ years of shotgun shooting both hunting and clays is don't do it,leave those hundred year-old chokes alone. Don't believe that a open choke will make you a better shot,they won't.
