barrells
 

Is it safe to open up the chokes on a twist or Damascus ? Danny

There is no set answer

If the condition of the barrels support it. Most likely yes

But because you can does not mean you should

Just use spreader loads.

First, you must have the chokes measured to know where your are. Professionally. Then, you must have a professional assess the chokes/barrels for "opening." Then, you must have a professional open them if it is deemed safe and wise to do so.

Where to turn? For Parkers, Brad Bacheldter. For Parkers and any other gun, Kirk Merrington.

Many people who wish their chokes to be opened, already have open chokes, and the gunsmith will send the gun back, untouched, with an invoice. Measure your bores and choke so you will know what you really want.

It's a little like gaining 200lbs. and wearing a Speedo to your family reunion. Just because you CAN do it, it doesn't mean you should. Plus, once you do it, there's no going home again.
